Lo Loestrin Blue 2 Missed Pills Period?

I missed two pills and will take two pills tomorrow to get back on schedule, I was wondering when to expect my period and how bad it would be this month? Last time I missed one pill and it caused my period to come a week early, just wondering how how its going to affect me.

Hi, Nicole!

I'm sorry, but there's really no way for anyone to know how your body will react to missing them. These contain synthetic hormones and everyone's body is different, so missing a tablet or two may cause major issues for some people, but others may not encounter any problems, at all.

It's actually a withdrawal bleed from not taking active tablets for a day or two that induces your menstrual cycle, so if missing one tablet caused it to start early before, then that is most likely what will happen again.

The opposite is also true, many women have been able to successfully use them to skip their menstrual cycle at time it might be inconvenient, such as when getting married or taking a long planned vacation. They can do so just by skipping the placebo tablets and continuing to take active tablets in a new pack.

However, if you are sexually active, each tablet you miss ups your risk of getting pregnant, so in the future, I'd suggest finding some way to remind yourself to take them each day on time. Many smartphones have free apps that you can use to create reminders for prescription medications, I use one myself, so that's something you may want to look into.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
