I forgot my pill so the next day I took 2, and now I am menstruating. What should I do?

If you have forgotten to take your birth control pill and took two the next day, you did the right thing. It is not necessary to use an additional form of contraception for the following 7 days if you were 10 days into your pill pack. You should skip the inactive pills this month and start a new pack immediately after finishing the active pills. This is in line with the guidelines of the Canadian Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology. I hope this information helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. Have a great day!
