What happens if you take two birth control instead of one?

Taking two birth control pills in one day won't have any long-term health effects and probably won't cause any symptoms. The extra dose could cause you to feel a bit nauseous that day, but it'll pass quickly.

How do I start my second pack of birth control pills?

Most combination pills come in 28-day or 21-day packs. If you have 28-day packs: Take 1 pill every day for 28 days (four weeks) in a row, and then start a new pack on day 29. The last pills in 28-day packs of combination pills do not have hormones in them.

Can you take the pill in any order?

Taking a pill out of order only matters if you use a 28-day combination pill pack, and you took an inactive pill instead of an active one. If you took an inactive pill when you should have taken an active one, it's the same as skipping a pill.

Is it better to take two birth control pills or miss one?

If you don't remember until the next day, go ahead and take 2 pills that day. If you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. If you miss more than 2 birth control pills, call your doctor for instructions.
