I just started taking OTC and I forgot one pill about a week into it, and now I am having another period! Does this mean I won't have one at the end of the month like usual? Any help would be great!

thanks a bunch

Hi luv, welcome back!

You should have another withdrawal bleed at the end of your active pills. Remember to use back-up for 7 days after the missed pill. Thanks for posting.

Take care,

Hi there,

Thanks so much for your reply! Now if i took it a couple hours late but in the same day should I still use back up method?

Thanks again for your help,

Luv

This board considers on-time as being +/-2 hours of your regular pill time. So you should be ok there. For some dos and don’ts and how to get the most from your pills read "Taking your pills correctly" in the FAQs at the top of the board.

Take care,
