What are the risks of doing this with your birth control?!


Question: I recently went back on birth control and have taken my pill at a completely different time each day (with the exception of maybe two) in the past two weeks due to my horrid forgetfulness. I also skipped a day because when I woke up I reliezed I forgot it and I know that you are not supposed to make up for it by taking two pills in one day.

What are the risks of taking it at a different time each day/forgetting a pill here and there? Other than pregnancy, because that ones obvious.

you are totally allowed to take 2 pills at a time if you miss a day. just never triple up and take 3 pills in one day. I think the only effect of the different times is an unpredictable period and maybe some hormone imbalance but nothing too serious.

I don't think the stomach pain is related to the birth control. The risk of not taking the pill at the same time each day could be bleeding between your period, getting your period early, or having your period last for a long time, and pregnancy.
