"I forgot to take my birth control pill for several days and I got my period. What should I do?"

If you have forgotten to take your birth control pill for several days and have had unprotected sex recently, it is important to consider the risk of pregnancy. Depending on how many days you have missed the pill and where you were in your pill pack, there may be a possibility of becoming pregnant. In such cases, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional promptly to discuss emergency contraception options such as the morning-after pill or emergency IUD insertion. It is important to take action quickly to address any potential risks.
