Question
I accidentily forgot to take a pill 11 days into my pack. Therefore, the next day i took 2. This has happened before so i didn't think it was a big deal. Then the next day i started my period. I thought it was just spotting, though i have never had that happen before, but today is saturday and i still have a light but steady flow. I don't know if i should keep taking my birth control for the next 2 weeks or wait until my period is over to start a new pack (Next sunday). Help ASAP PLEASE!!!!

Answer
Hi Kayli,
I'm not sure what to tell you about your question. Do you have a chance to check with your physician because I'm not a medical doctor. I'm really not sure if you just miss one pill that this would happen. Does it say anything on the package about this? Sorry I can't help you more on this but please let me know what happens. You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
How long have you taken the pill in total?
Thanks,
Diane Cheryl
