It's now a Thursday and I have missed four pills. Anything you can say that would help me start taking them? My DR did not specify.

when you miss that many pills aren't you suppose to just let your period start and then start the pills again? Call the pharmacy.Leron

Hi
I would call your pharmacy like leron suggested just to be sure! I'm not sure wheather you should just start taking them straight away or because you've missed four-you should wait for your next period so as not to mess up your cycle!
Either way use extra contraception to prevent you getting pregnant since you missed those pills you may not be protected!
As i said i would recomend you checking with the pharmacy or your doc if you can get hold of him/her!
