'take two today and two tomorrow to catch up. No big problem. Your period might last a little longer.

If you miss 1 dose of Microgestin Fe 1/20 , take it as soon as your remember. Take your next dose at the regular time. This means you may take 2 doses on the same day. You do not need to use a backup method of birth control if you only miss 1 pill. If you miss more than 1 dose of Microgestin Fe 1/20 , read the extra patient information leaflet that comes with Microgestin Fe 1/20 or contact your doctor for instructions. You must use a backup method of birth control if you miss more than 1 dose of Microgestin Fe 1/20 . If you are not sure about how to handle missed doses, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms) until you talk with your doctor.

No you need to throw the pack out and let your period come. Since today is Sunday you will probably want to start a new pack today but follow whatever instructions you doc gave you in the beginning for starting on birth control pills. Essentially you need to start from scratch just like you did when you first went on the pill. Since you are not real good at rememberng your pill you may need to consider a different kind of birth control.

sure, you will get pregnant. in case you omit 2 pills you're actually not any extra risk-free and can use a returned up technique. you may take emergency birth control/plan B if it occurred interior the final 5 days.

Read information packet or call Ur doctor cause some pills have different instructions or Ur doctor may want u to take them a different way. I would try the shot its good for up to three months and no pills to remember.

If you miss one day you are supposed to take 2 the next, but if you miss more than one day then just take one each day like normal.
If you've already started your period then you might as well make this the week you have it and start back after on a regular basis.

If you plan on doing any extra activities....condoms condoms condoms. Take no chances when it comes to your health and safety. Even when you get back to your regular schedule of birth control, take the extra precaution anyway. Pills aren't 100% effective in preventing unwanted prenancy, and you don't want to catch anything else unwanted.

Read the pamphlet that came with your pack!
Or call the pharmacist.
Or call your doctor.
OR google your pill online.
MOST pills state to take two at the usual time on Sunday, then two at the usual time on Monday, and ALSO to use alternative forms of protection for at least a week! (Condoms).
So please read your pamphlet.

Depends on what kind of birth control you're taking really. Check with the documentation that came with your pills.

I wouldn't try to make up for the missed pills. Just wait a week before having unprotected sex. In that week, take your pills regularly.
