I somehow forgot three days in a row of my birth control, and took all three of them this morning at 5:30am when I started spotted and realized what had happened. I'm planning to take today's tonight (as I normally do). This is in an attempt to stop my period because my guy and I were going to have sex today, but it's probably futile. My question is - I take Yaz (or, Gianvi), so the normal amount of placebos is 4 pills. So if I just consider the past three days as having been the placebos, could I go straight to a new pack without needing extra protection for seven days? I've taken my birth control faithfully, every single night at 8pm, for ten years - I can't believe I forgot for three days.
