How To Continue Missed Birth Control Pill?
When I first started taking birth control (Microgestin fe 1/20) my Gyno. told me that if I ever missed a pill to wait and take two pills at my regular time the next day. However, a lot of my friends have been telling me that I should actually take the pill that I forgot about as soon as I remember and then the next pill at my regular time. Which one is correct or do they both have the same effect?

hello
Suppose you forget 2 tablets take 2 missed pills when you remember & pill for that day at regular time.so you take 3 pills on the day you remember.
In case you forget 3 tablets do not take when you remember.do not finish the package.wait for 4 more days.start new package 8 days after the last pill you took.
As this pills are not taken without consult i suggest you to meet local doctor
