Question
Im an on tri-nessa and have been for 2 years now. I missed 2 pills the first week n 1 or 2 the secound week and forgot todays but took it later then normal. Missing that many pills are they not working now? And how many pills could i miss befor its too late to try to make it up?"

Answer
The pills are still working, so it's never too late to keep taking them.  However, each pill missed increases the chance that pregnancy could occur.  I would keep taking them and try to not miss more.  If your period doesn't come when expected, then do a pregnancy test.
