It's important to remember to take your pill every day because they are all important and missing any of them can decrease the effectiveness and you could become pregnant.

I was told by my doctor once to be aware that your first and last active pills are the most important pills in your pack. He advised me that being late in starting the next pack or forgetting your last active pill will lengthen the time off the active pills. Lengthening this pill-free interval can allow your body to ovulate.

I would recommend that you try to plan carefully when you need to start or purchase your next pack. Remember your pills when you go away for weekends or vacations.

If you have any further questions or concerns, I would recommend you discuss with your doctor/gyno.

Good luck :)

any honey, your not suppose to miss

your not really supposed to miss one pill much less a week of them...if your having trouble taking the pills i would suggest a different form of birth control. maybe go to your doctor to see if there are any other forms that would be good for you..patch, shot, iud,etc. also, the non-hormone pills are still important because they still mantain your cycle for your period.

it doesnt matter, if you miss 2 or more pills in either week you have 2 use a back up method for 7 days or you could become pregnant

Not good to miss any of them, but you're more likely to get pregnant in weeks 2 or 3 (which doesn't mean you can't get pregnant in week 1).
