I forgot to take my BC pill around 12ish (when I normally take it), of course as soon as I realized I took it (around 11:30pm). A few hours later I noticed I had a bit of bloody discharge, could this have been due to the fact that I did take the pill at the normal time?

Forgot to take a pill

Possibly. It depends a bit on which pill it was - some need better time-keeping than others. An important issue is whether you are still protected for the rest of the month. It should say how late you can be and still be safe in the literature that comes with it, or on the maker's website.

Yeah so I forgot the pill on saturday night, and now I've forgotten it again today (about 7 hours later than normal). Should I continue to take the pills normally or do I have to start again? I am usually so good at remembering :fearful:

You should continue to take the pills normally, but it might be wise to use additional contraception (such as condoms) for the rest of the month.
-
Start setting a timer on your cell phone to remind you to take your pill.

Fantomasfnm, we welcome you to A2A. However, one of the "rules" you are asked to follow is to not bring up old posts unless you have something mindblowing to add. When you resurrect old posts, it pushes the new one further down and doesn't give the original poster a fair chance for everyone to see it. In this case, the last response in this thread was about 5 months old, almost as old as the original post and the person who originated the thread hasn't been around since then either.
