Question
I just miss a week of taking my birth control, I will like to know if I have to wait for my next cycle to start back on the birth control or should i just continue?
And, If I have to wait until my next cycle should I take it when my cycle begins or after my cyle ends?
Hello Kenyell,
Your name is so pretty!
I just hit the wrong button so you may have gotten an email from me already. But I didn't have a chance to answer your question. First of all, I'm not a medical professional so I urge you to ask your doctor these questions. If you could tell me what brand of birth control you are taking, perhaps I could give you more information. Are you talking about your period when you ask about when to take it again? I'm sorry that I can't answer more right now but if you ask a followup question and give me more info or email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com I will be glad to help you in any further way.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
