Birth Control Pills

I forgot to pick up my pills on Sunday. I finally got them today and took Sunday, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday's pills tonight.
Is that going to mess up everything?

Probably. Not sure tho. I was only on my pills for one month before I had a pulmonary embolism.

With having just had your period, not sure if that will mess things up or not. But you need to use a back up method for conception. Your body needs a constant, steady, same time of day, supply of the hormones from the pills or you have a higher failure rate from the pills. You can not miss even one pill to get maximum protection, you SHOULD be taking the pills the same time of day every day.
