What happens if you take 3 of your birth control pills at once?

I was wondering what happens if you forgot to take 2 of your birth control pills and you decide to take three of them in one dose without calling your doctor first? The birth control pill that I am currently taking is Yasmin.

So my period was coming to an end & I got a new pack of birth control & the first day I took 5 pills, I then had unprotexted sex after taking the pills. I wasn't on birth control before this, can I possibly be pregnant now?

Hello, I started my period 2 days ago (first day or 2 is light spotting, 3 days of real period, and 2-3 days of light spotting then finished) I need my period done by Wednesday bc I'll be seeing my bf for a week. The first day of my period, I started ocella and it made my period stop. Should I keep taking the pill? Will it keep me from having my period during the week I'll be w my bf? If not, are there other ways to prevent my period before I go see him?

Ive been taking my pill regularly for many months now without skipping it. Although, I have maybe made it start earlier on the odd occasion but this month I was planning on skipping it because I'm going on holiday with my boyfriend. I am on my last day of active pills and was planning on starting the new pack of active pills tomorrow to skip it but I've started bleeding. I leave in 4 days, should I continue to take the active pills and try things like taking ibuprofen and drinking vinegar and hope it goes away or just stop taking the active pills, let my body get my period and hope it doesn't last too long? Any help would be much appreciated! (Im on estelle 35)

You're stupid. Why are you even having sex at that age? I was a virgin until I was 20. Met the live of my life and still with him today. You're stupid uf you have sex under 18.

How rude do you have to be. Good for you, waiting till you're 20, but that doesn't give you the right to be a bitch. You're not entitled, just because you waited. Leave people to do their own thing, some people have sex at 14, some never do, it's none of your business. Just plain rude.

You will only hurt your system, i suggest you observe yourself for the next few weeks and may i remind you that you shouldnt miss your period.
