>>You DON’T have to take a pill every day. You are still protected if you forget one once in awhile and take two the next day. The whole idea is to get your hormones to a certain level and keep it up so you won’t conceive.
Depending on what generation/type of pill one is on, missing even one pill can result in pregnancy. Even taking them at different times can result in pregnancy..
My wife took the pill for 10 years and we didn’t get pregnant until we wanted to.
