Hi, I accidentally took 3 of my first week active birth control pills on the first 3 days of my inactive week. How should I proceed with taking my birth control?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

Continue taking your new pack of pills for this month - you may not get a period (withdrawal bleeding) as a result but it won't matter. Continue taking your active pills and finish them off. You can go back to normal next month.
Best,
Susan
