Instead of starting my pack on a Sunday like i normally do i started on a Thursday, so I took too pills everyday to catch up. I then forget to take it for almost a week. So again I took to pills everyday for about a week to catch up to the last week of pills. I have four left and forget to take one yesterday and today So i threw them out. Is this bad? what can happen, and what should I do

For now, use a back-up birthcontrol method if you have sex. I'd just wait until you get your next period and start again the following Sunday with a new pack. However, you should probably call your doctor to get his or her advice. You also might want to talk about a different method of birth control like the patch or the ring, since you are having problems taking your pills daily.

Yes. It is an overdose and can mess stuff up. Just do it "first day" style, as you would if you started on a Monday and start the new level of pills on the following Thursdays. Start your new pack on a Sunday again. Everything will be fine if you do that.
Your period may be late this month, so don't worry if that happens.

Well the purpose of taking birth control pills is to maintain a schedule of hormone in your body at all times for 28 days. taking 2 a day will do nothing much mess with your body's schedule and could be harmful... you should speak to a doctor...

you are not suppose to be taking two pill in a day, your period could become very heavy and very pain full. if you are forgetting to take the pill maybe you should try taking a different birth control method.

since you are forgetting to take the pill or you are to rushed to take the pill you might want to try the ring, the patch, or the shot. that way you don't have to wory about it everyday. and don't have sex because you could get pregnant. Also go talk to your doctor ASAP

I had to do that once and my doc said it was okay as long as my stomach could handle the extra dose of hormones. You may want to use some other form of birth control just to be safe.
