HELP! Missed Pill

Alikat · Kate Spade

I think it just counts as one late pill. I believe its not a big problem if it is in the first two weeks of your pack, but could be more serious if it is the last week of the pack. Check the directions that come with your pills - they should have more information on this.

It's my third week on the pack. I looked at the instructions for my pill (Yasmin) and it's not clear to me what to do because I'm not sure if this counts as one missed pill or two.

Check out these boards. I think it depends on when your normal pill-time is.

If you usually take your pill in the morning, I'd count it as 2 missed pills. Just continue taking them as you usually would now, but you might have a bit of spotting depending on how sensitive your body is to this stuff. Just use a backup method until after your next period, and you should be fine.
