Can you get your period if forget to take pill?

It depends on the type of birth control pill you are taking. There are two main types of birth control pills: monophasic and multiphasic. Monophasic pills contain the same amount of estrogen and progestin in each pill, while multiphasic pills contain different amounts of estrogen and progestin at different times of the month.

In general, if you forget to take a birth control pill, the likelihood that you will get your period depends on the following:

The type of birth control pill you are taking:

• Monophasic pills: If you forget to take one or two monophasic pills, you are less likely to get your period. This is because the levels of estrogen and progestin in monophasic pills are evenly balanced, so missing a few pills is not likely to cause major disruptions to your hormonal balance.
• Multiphasic pills: If you forget to take a multiphasic pill, you are more likely to get your period. This is because the levels of estrogen and progestin in multiphasic pills vary at different times of the month, so missing a pill can cause major disruptions to your hormonal balance.

How late you are in your cycle:

• Early in your cycle: If you forget to take a pill early in your cycle, you are less likely to get your period. This is because your hormone levels are still rising at this time, and missing a pill or two is unlikely to cause major disruption.
• Late in your cycle: If you forget to take a pill late in your cycle, you are more likely to get your period. This is because your hormone levels are starting to drop at this time, and missing a pill can cause major disruption.

Your individual body chemistry:

• Some people are more sensitive to hormonal changes than others. If you are more sensitive to hormonal changes, you are more likely to get your period if you forget to take a birth control pill.

If you are concerned about whether or not you will get your period if you forget to take a birth control pill, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
