Birth control pills are effective if taken correctly and regularly. So when you don't, there is some risk.
It's recommended that If you missed one, take it as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until the next day, go ahead and take 2 pills that day. If you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. If you miss 3 or more pills, contact your doctor for further instructions.
