Forgot to take birth control pills?
So I forgot to take my BC pills and I know you have to double up the second you remember it but today I missed an active pill and tomorrow I will starting on my inactive pills. Should I take the pill I missed and the inactive one or should I skip the inactive ones and just take the one missed today and start my new pack? I really don't want to screw up my period though cause it's stresses me out not knowing when I will get it. Thanks :)

since it is only one pill take the active pill ASAP do not wait until tomorrow ( you can take your pill 1 hour before or safter the normal time and it is ok) since you forgot to take it at your normal time take it now! and tomorrow stsrt the sugar pills like normal
your period should come as timed if a little late it could be stress or due to taking the pill late
The best thing to do in this situation rather then doubleing up which is not recommended is to take the forgotten pill as soon as you rememer so for example my normal time is 6pm, sometimes i only take it at 7pm and if i really forget its at 11pm that same evening.
just make sure to use other mods of contaceptive as well to be 100% safe
