Can I take 23 active pills in any cycle?
I'm taking BCPs since past 2months, in my second pack I missed the 20th pill on wednesday, didn't remember to take it until next night. So I skipped the 21st pill too on thursday & considered my placebo week from wednesday to next tuesday. My pill cycle shifted by 2 days, I had only 1day withdrawal bleed as compared to last time's 3 days. Is it ok?
And can I take my left out 2 pills from old pack in my new cycle that I started on wednesday,i.e.23 active pills in total for this months pill cycle?
It is very normal to forget a pill for one day. It is advised to take two pills next day and if you forget for two days and more then it's a bit difficult. And it has no effect now after you got your periods.You may.take 23 tablets but it is advisable to take 21 only
