r_a_w_r1645 agony auntyeah it can. once you start taking them, your body is use to it, and if you miss one day or a few it leaves you at higher risk to get pregnant. like very high.

Yes, if you miss more than one pill you need to use back up for seven days. You need to go see your doctor and think about other options if you're so forgetful about taking the pill. I would get plan B too if its not to late.

TimmD agony auntYes, you must take the pill EVERY DAY. They recommend at LEAST one month or pill taking before having unprotected sex. If you miss a day then again you should wait a month (still taking your pill every day) till you have unprotected sex again.

Again, you must take the pill every single day for it to be effective. Skipping even one day will screw it up.

It's possible. You need to use a backup form of birth control when you skip pills.
