Question
Skipped yaz pill. what should i do?
Yesterday(Thursday) I forgot to take a pink Yaz pill. This morning, 5 hours ago, I took today's yaz pill and left yesteday's in the pack, however after researching I got to know that I should have taken them both this morning. What should I do please? will this affect my menstrual cycle? I have been on the pill for almost 6 weeks now. thanks
What worries me is that today I took today's pill.So is it ok to take yesterdays pill 7hours after today's pill?
Hi Sara,
Sorry for the delay on getting your question. I would like to know what you ended up doing about taking the pills. You can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so you can update me-I'd be interested.
I don't usually recommend birth control pills or any kind of hormonal birth control method. Let me know if you are having any side effects. Please consider using some other kind of birth control method (non-Hormonal) or if you really need to be on birth control at this time.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
