Birthcontrol

[Mirk]

I am on Tricyclin regular 28 days. I dont know what to do because ive missed so many pills. I thought i had taken them and i didnt. I missed 3 out of the first week.(row 1) and 1 out of the third  week(row 3). So when i noticed this i just continued on same schedule as if i didnt miss. and Now i have my period early, half way into the 3rd week/row. What should i do? Continue and finish the rest of the 3rd week then start a new pack? or take a break from the pill till next period and start new pack? or  start the new pack right now.??

I agree with Clysta about maybe finding another method.  Taking your BC pills HAS to be done every day & at almost the exact time every day for them to be most effective.   HOWEVER if you chose to continue I would discard the pack that you are currently on & IMMEDIATELY start a new pack as it's day 1 of your cycle.  BC pills can be hard to remember so most often it helps to take them with something you do around the same time every day i.e. getting up, eating a meal, watching a certain tv show.

Hope this helps.

I'm unclear (I didn't go the route of pills for my birth control) about what you should do, but if you're bad at taking them properly I would suggest a new birth control. Missing pills like that makes them useless to take as they aren't effective. You can call your doctor and they could tell you what you should do.
