    Some confusion with my birth control pills. Help!
    I missed a few birth control pills during the month (only two and I took them and made up for it). My last pill was supposed to be taken Friday but I missed it and took it Saturday. It is now Wednesday and I am showing no signs of a period. I'm due to start the new pack on Saturday, should I still do that if I haven't gotten my period yet? I have been sexually active on a weekly basis.

    Would be wise to try a pregnancy test to rule out possible pregnancy. Otherwise, yes, start your new pack as you normally would and try not to miss any. Be sure to use another form of birth control for while until you have been taking them regularly again.

    You might want to set a phone or watch alarm to a set time that is convenient to help you remember.
