I have a question that is out of context ( it’s not about ocd) for the women. Yesterday I forgot my birth control pill and today I’m totally irritated. Every time I get a text I’m numb and when my family talk to me it makes me angry. Is it a side effect of a forgotten birth control pill?

Only forgotten pill - nope. Plus what time do you usually takes it ? If it’s less than 12hours you forgot then you should still take it (means you take two in one day please refer to your notice). I think it’s more you focusing on the fact that you forgot it.

Ovulation is one day :) so it’s either before that or after. Indeed if you are nearby the ovulation day it’s risky in terms of pregnancy. But I remember that it took some time after I quit pill (I was taking for years) before seeing a change in my mood. I don’t think you can see that on the scale of two days.

I think it is difficult to tell because everyone seems to have vastly different reactions to birth control anyway. But what I think is most likely that whatever made you forget takinging it might be stressing you out already and then the hormonal changes are like the cherry on top to bring you over the edge of being irritated. If it keeps being an issue and you even mildly suspect it's from the birth control I'd definitely talk to the doctor who prescribed them just to make sure if they are the right option for you

Did you take the missed pill? Usually the instructions tell you how to take the extra pills or when to interrupt your cycle, have a period, and then restart. If you took the extra pill or your body read it as time to start menstruating, then it can absolutely affect you. It might be, it might not be. Your mood change might be a secondary response to your body adjusting. Use some back-up protection. Best wishes.

Thank you all!

Its the 2nd time I forget it and it’s more than 12hourd

2 times in a row ? Which part of your cycle are you in?

The ovulation part

Okay! It’s a little bit after
