Dr. Philip G. Brooks MD's Expert Contributions
I have missed my periods. Should I immediately meet a gynecologist?
Two weeks after a missed period is soon enough for a gynecologist to be involved. Depending upon the choices, the earlier the cause for the missed period is determined, the safer and better the outcome. READ MORE
What if I miss a week straight of birth control pills?
If you have been on the pills for a long time, Save for over 4 to 6 months, Immediately. It is not likely that you could break through and I ovulate at that point. However, if this is the first cycle or two you would be willing wise to use a back up method of contraception until you get back on the pills READ MORE
