Is Missing Few Birth Control Pills A Serious Cause For Concern?
I ve been taking the dial birth control where you turn the knob each pill you take. I started the white pills on the first day of my period, which was a Sunday. I ve been taking my pills exactly how i m suppose to but i did notice, however, that after my placebo pills i have 3 extra white pills i didn t take because i started on a Sunday, I m not sure what i should do, did i take it wrong?

Yes missing pills may lead to pregnancy if you had sex in those days.You should use barrier method for 7 days if pill is missed.So if you had sex,get urine pregnancy test.Start a fresh pill course from day 1.thank you
