What to Do If You Missed Birth Control Pills: Expert Advice

Question
I skipped 3 pills of my second week of a 21 active pill pack. What should I do? I
am not worried about birth control at this time (I use it for acne).

Answer
Hello,
I emailed you back on Oct. 29 I think but haven't heard back from you. Just checking to see if you received my email.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

<<Hi CMC,
Thanks for your question! I'm not a medical doctor so please ask your physician about this. Personally, I would not take birth control pills just for acne or skin care. How about getting an opinion from a doctor about another method for this? I'm going to include on this post some information about how the pill works and the side effects and risks. There are too many reasons, in my opinion, not to use the birth control for skin care. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com if you want more information or have further questions.
Here is some information about the pill because I want you to know the
side effects and how it works.
I want to warn you on some of the risks of the pill.
<Progestins and the estrogen in the pill are artificial hormones that
make your body believe that it is pregnant month after month. All the
vital organs in your body are affected by the constant use of the pill.
It contains powerful steroids and artificial hormones.
This constant presence of powerful steroids is not healthy, and there
are side effects when using the pill. Here are the ways the pill can
work.
1. It can prevent ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary)
  2. It can cause the mucus in the cervix to change so that if sperm
reach the cervix, they are not allowed to enter, and
  3. It can irritate the lining of the uterus so that if the first two
actions fail, and you do become pregnant, your body will reject the
fetus (baby) and he or she will die.
It's called a chemical abortion.

Here are some of the side effects of the pill:
-bacterial infections (because the pill weakens the immune system.)
-more susceptible to the AIDS virus (HIV) because the pill weakens the
immune system
-pelvic inflammatory disease-an infection of the fallopian tubes that
can cause sickness or sterility
-infertility-unable to ever bear children
-ectopic pregnancy
-shrinking of the womb (endometrial atrophy)
-mood swings and depression
-breast cancer
-blood clots
-birth defects in children conceived while women are on the pill
-tender breasts
-stroke
-cervical cancer
-weight gain >
Hope this is not TOO much information so hope to hear from you soon.
