Yes, birth control pills do have an expiration date, and you shouldn't depend on them for birth control if they're expired! Plus, like another person said, if you only have one pack of them, it wouldn't do you much good anyway--BCPs are only effective as birth control after one month of continuous use (although some say one week--but better safe than sorry, right?). If you want to start birth control, just go see your doctor for a prescription--and remember, the lower dose pills have less side effects but are also more dependant on you taking them at the correct time every day and not missing any pills. Hope that helps!

I started my first pack of birth control and I missed three days, resumed back taking the pills and then missed another 3 days.

You're reading Do birth control pills expire? I have some old pills from like 2 years ago and I'm wondering if they will still work if I take them?
