[|Human|] I missed a couple of birh control pills 2 months ago and when I got what I thought was my period, it was very heavy and lasted 3 weeks. I had large clots. Last week (3 weeks after it started) I had intense cramping that came in waves for several hours only to have it calm down. I passed what felt like something large and since then I ve felt much better and my bleeding has almost stopped. I now think I had a miscarriage even though I didn t know I was even pregnant . My question is about birth control now. Can I continue to take it as normal? If I take it every day as I should (I still can t believe I forgot) then is it still as effective?
[|AI|]  Hi your symptoms are actually suggestive of a miscarriage. However, you can now start with your birth control pills as earlier, and they will be just as effective if taken religiously. Pills are started the very next day of an abortion to be effective and continued every day thereafter as prescribed. If you miss one pill take it as soon as you remember or take two the next day. If you miss two or more Chat Doctor.  However, expect an early or irregular cycle when you stop pills mid-cycle, if delayed suggests a pregnancy.
