Missed over a week of my Birth Control and took all 9 to catch back up?!?!
So I missed a little over a week of my birtch control pill and am sexually actice with my fiance and wondered if there was anything wrong with that? Any side affects and so on?
Thanks a ton!

Answers:
Are you saying you took all 9 at the same time?!?!?! I can't imagine that would be even remotely healthy! I suggest you call your doctor immediately and tell her what happened because I'm sure that there are some kind of really bad effects from that, which is essentially an OD of the stuff.
Geez, taking the pill as directed is bad enough, but you took NINE at the same time? That is not going to be good at all. I'm surprised you haven't already started having some kind of adverse effects from it!!
Answers:
That just won't work! Don't have unprotected sex because you are likely not protected. Be sure to use a condom for backup and phone your doctors office and at least speak with a nurse. I don't think it is a good idea at all to take 9 pills at once! I am really surprised you are not having extreme nausea and throwing up. Did you miss over a week of active pills? Even if you missed some inactive pills, missing more than 1 day of active pills requires that you definitely use backup protection for at least a week. I'm not sure what it does to you if you took 9 active pills at once.
Answers:
since you missed 9 days you took 9 pills...sorry but that doesnt mean you are protected one bit. I've read on some of the info packets that come with my pills if you miss over 2 days your pretty much outta luck.
I would stop taking them. Let your body have it's period, then start a new pack on a sunday to become regulated again... thats what I would do personally.
Answers:
Well, if you consider pregnancy a 'side effect' then that would be the main one to be worried about. You do know that if you miss a week, you're not protected, right? (Assuming you're not talking about the week off for your period.)
