Accidentally Took Double Dose of Birth Control Pills? Here's What to Do

Question
Last week I was taking my pills like normal and I was on Saturday so I took that pill but accidentally took next Saturdays pill too. So then when that Saturday came I don't have a pill to take. Should I take another double dose like I did last Saturday to get back on track of the days?

Answer
Hi Katie,

Contact your pill provider and see what they say. I don't understand that you would have to take another double dose but maybe I didn't understand your situation correctly.

Please consider going on another kind of birth control method as there could be side effects and health problems from the hormones in the birth control pills. If you want to email me, you can reach me at CHERYL51@aol.com

Hope to hear from you soon.
