BCP

I am on BCP fo the first time in my life and just for this month (hopefully)
Is it reallly bad that I forgot my pill today?
Do I take two tomorrow?

Re: BCP

Take it as soon as you realize you missed it or double the next day

Re: BCP

yes....be careful the first few weeks not to have unprotected sex...it takes a bit for the pill to be effective

I forget my pill all the time at least once or twice a week and I just double up the next day

Re: BCP

Re: BCP

Always take the missed pill as soon as you remember.

If you forgot yesterday, and only remembered because you opened the pack today to take it, then take both at the same time. They say to use further protection for the next 7 days.

Hope this helps!

Sad, but true -- I set an outlook reminder every day at work to prompt me. Problem is, I tend to forget on weekends.

Nah it's fine just make sure you take it now and take tomorrow's on time or you better plan on a backup method for the rest of the week!
