Can taking 3 birth control at once cause you to skip a period??

Question

So, I forgot to take them for 3 days, and took them all at once. Two days after that, I had irregular bleeding for a couple days. But, then when the time came for my period, it hasn't started! Is this from taking too many birth control, or a chance of being pregnant? HELP!

Answer 1

your only suppost to double (two) up once. If you've missed 3 days then I do believe that they (dr) suggest that you stop taking your pills until your next period, use protection while in the process, then the Sunday after your next period, even if your still bleeding then start a new pack of pills all over again. It's like starting over. And continue to use protection until the first pack is completely done and you've started on the next one.

Answer 2

YA KNOW HOW YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT COLOR PILL IN THE PACK THAT YOU TAKE DURING YOU'RE PERIOD WELL THOSE AR PLACEBOS THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING IF YOU HAD A YEARS SUPPLY OF BIRTH CONTROL PILLS ANY YOU ONLY TOOK THE REAL ONES EVERY DAY AND SKIPPED THE OTHERS YOU WOULDN'T GET YOUR PERIOD THE ENTIRE TIME (THIS IS NOT HEALTHY AFTER AWHILE )SOME WOMAN WILL DO THIS IF THEY ARE GOING ON THERE HONEYMOON THE WEEK THEIR PERIOD IS DUE

Answer 3

You shouldn't take them all at once if you skip a dose just wait and only take one at a time yes this will cause your period to be messed up maybe for a prolonged perioed until the birth control works on your hormones

Answer 4

if you miss more than one days pill you ought to follow the 7 day rule rather than take them all at once. Yes you could easily fall pregnant during those 3 days and the 7 days after as the pill will not be as effective if taken incorrectly. It is normal to have irregular bleeding if you don't take your pill correctly. i suggest you speak to your practice nurse and ask her for her advice on what to do next, or read the packet instructions.

Answer 5

I Don't think you are pregnant, but you need to be cafeful! You shouldn't take all 3 pills at once, it may mess up your system!
It may have caused you to have a funny period, so i would relax!
It's most likely because you took all 3 at the same time!
Relax!

Answer 6

If you ever want to skip a period - Just start the new packet straight and skip your placebos(which what makes your period come down) But, you should always contact your GYN/PCP provider before continuing w/ this..

Answer 7

Did you read the directions that are included in EVERY PACK of pills ? It tells you EXACTLY what to do if you miss doses. You are probably not prgnanat, but screwed up your entire system. I would talk to your doctor, but my guess is that you will have to complete this pack of pills and an entire new pack before your pills are working again properly.

Answer 8

you shouldn't have taken them, if u miss one there is no point taking them all at once, i don't think ure pregnant but i think u have stuffed ur period cycle up, it should go back into order soon, but don't take more than one pill at a time!!

Answer 9

go to a hospital soon you have overdosed on hormones
