"I forgot to take a birth control pill and it triggered menstruation, what should I do?"

If you have forgotten to take a birth control pill and it has triggered menstruation, you should take the missed pill as soon as you remember and then take the pill for that day as scheduled. It is also advisable not to take a break and start a new pack even if bleeding occurs. Consider taking emergency contraception if you have had intercourse in the 5 days before the missed pill. It is best to consult with a pharmacist for a thorough evaluation of your situation and needs.
