Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the symptoms you are experiencing. Missing a single pill in a pack though not advisable would in no way increase your chances of becoming pregnant. The symptoms are typical of premenstrual syndrome. Maybe you are not used to this but it could be a possibility.

For the frequent urination, I will suggest that you get your urine tested as this could be a sign of urinary tract infection.


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for more information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
