So, during the holidays, I went on vacation in mid December. I forgot to take a few of my birth control pills and never made up for them. I am taking Minastrin 24 Fe. It is a 24 day active pill and 4 placebos. So up until the last 3 days of active pills (which I forgot to take as well because I was moving) I was already actively 2 days behind. The thing that made me realize I had forgotten to take the pills is the fact that I had a ONE day period. That's it!! I haven't started my new pack yet because I am afraid of being pregnant and taking the pills. This is my first time on birth control and my first month.

Hi, Anon.
Birth control pills are highly effective at preventing pregnancy if taken correctly. If not, you run the risk of getting pregnant. You missed 3 active pills and did not make them up. It's best to call your gynecologist for further instructions on what to do next.
