Hello,
What week of your package are you in?
28-year-old woman · 4 years ago
I am currently on my 10th day of taking pills(2 nd week) out of 28.
28-year-old woman · 4 years ago
but I would be supposed to be on my 13th day because I only forgot three...
And now,
I'm having a little bit of blood loss...
Should I take her three forgotten pills again?
Or should I leave it like that and continue them 1 a day as usual?

If you are in your second week, you can take 1 tablet as soon as possible and take the next one at the scheduled time, even if it means taking 2 tablets on the same day.
When you finish the active tablets in your current pack, skip the period with inactive tablets and start a new tablet dispenser the next day.
You must use additional birth control for the next 7 days if you are having sex.
