When you forget to take a birth control pill or pills, you increase the chance of releasing an egg from your ovary. The 7-day birth control back-up is just to be extra cautious as you get back on schedule. It's usually recommended when first starting the pill as well. If you are still concerned about this, call your doctor for more information.
