I was supposed to start a new pack last August 26 but I wasn't able to. It's now August 31, so should I start now? I'm not sexually active. What should I do?

If you are referring to birth control pills then you must have them in your system all the time for them to be effective. It has nothing to do with being sexually active at the time to take them. You should start now and don't stop unless your instructions tell you to.

So you mean I should take 2 pills at a time starting today until I cover those pills that I missed until Im on schedule?

No I didn't say that. Just start taking them one a day.

All right, thanks. But how about those pills that I wasn't able to take? I should just disregard them?

If you want any more information, please call your doctor.
