I accidently dropped one of my birth control pills down the drain.....?

Question

Do I just skip it completely or take the next white pill?

Answer 1

well at least the sink won't get pregnant

Answer 2

Take the next pill in your case, your period may come a day earlier or not. If you skip the pill with the hormone in it it defeats all the pills you have taken for the month.

Remember to use a condom always.

Answer 3

Take the next pill as if it was the one that you dropped. Don't skip any days.

Answer 4

I know I am a man, but i know the answear. It is a white pill, thus are inactive ingredients it will not hurt if you skip it. See if you take the next one it would throw the schedule of birth control pills off on you and could cause you some promblems.

Answer 5

Just take the next pill. If you have the type of pills where the last week is a placebo, then just take one more day off then and start again on the normal day you do them so you stay on the regular days. Or if your pack comes with stickers, you can put new stickers on so you will be one day off. It's no big deal to just go on.

Answer 6

It's OK.
You can do the same with the resulting baby.

A mother was bathin' her baby one night
The youngest of ten, a poor little mite
The mother was fat and the baby was thin
T'was nawt but a skellington covered in skin

The mother turned round for the soap from the rack
She weren't gone a minute, but when she got back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried
"Oh, where has my baby gone?", and the angels replied

Your baby has gorn down the plug'ole
Your baby has gorn down the plug
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
He shoulda been washed in a jug

Your baby is perfik'ly happy
He won't need no bathin' no more
He's workin' his way through the sewers
Not lost, just gone on before

Your baby has gorn down the drainpipe
And the chlorine is bad for his eyes
He's havin' a swim, and it's healthy for him
He needed the exercise

Don't worry 'baht 'im, just be 'appy
For I know he is suff'rin' no pain
Your baby has gorn down the plug'ole
Let's hope he don't stop up the drain

Your baby is perfik'ly 'appy
He won't need a bath any more
He's muckin' abaht with the angels above
Not lost but gone before

Answer 7

I'd skip it. Or do you have another unopen pack you could just take that pill from? If not, I'd just skip it, take your next pill as scheduled, and use condoms if you have sex. Also, keep tampons handy because you might get a weird period.

Answer 8

if you cannot retrieve it, take the next pill . But man, use condoms or some other form of protection, all it takes is one missed pill. I have a beautiful daughter cause i missed one pill, and doubled up the next day. Good Luck!

Answer 9

Take the next pill. Don't skip, you might get pregnant.

Answer 10

yea...i missed like 3 days this week because i was a crazy work schedule and my timing was super off. i just took up when i got back on track.....as long u are not actually havin sex at the time u should be okay....for example if u skipped saturday then dont have sex again for a few day and just resume your pills on sunday tp prevent pregnancy :o)

Answer 11

If you don't want to have a baby Take the pill. I skipped one pill and nine months later had a beautiful wondderful little girl. so baby or no baby.
