Birth control pills

I am currently taking birth control but, I missed two days last week-Saturday and Sunday...Sunday night I noticed that i missed the pills so i took Saturday's pill right away. Monday morning I took Sunday's pill and then Monday night I took Monday's pill.  I've continued to take the pills but I have started my period a couple weeks early...should i continue to take the pills or should i stop? If so, when should i start taking them again??

I know with my pills it is recommended to make up the pills (take 2 pills a day) until back on schedule and if more than two days are missed in the 2nd week to discontinue packet and use back up BC.   When I missed 2 pills I did have breakthrough bleeding but I finished out my pack and started the new pack as scheduled.    You could ask your Dr what he/she thinks you should do.

Call the 800 number on your packet of pills.  Each pill company probably has its own recommendation for what to do in this situation that is specific to the pill.
