Should I continue femilon n finish 21 days or should I stop when will I get periods n is any risk of pregnancy at this age ?
Answered by Dr. Mohit Saraogi
If you miss a pill and then take two on the next day, you may reduce its effectiveness a little, but because you are still weeks away from the beginning, the chances of getting pregnant are minimal. You still should continue to take your pills in the same way that you are used to and you will have to finish the 21 days. If your period does not come after you have taken the whole pack, it is normal for some girls and especially of your age, due to the hormone changes and it can be nothing to worry about. If you have ongoing concerns or symptoms, please consult a gynecologist about this for personal and particular advice.
