writes: I am not very clear on what to do when you miss a Pill. I am currently on the 1st week of the Pill which followed on from my 'break'. I missed a pill completely on Day 2 and I did not take that missed pill with the normal pill the day after. The pills i have subsequently taken have all been late in the day.I have been reading up on the internet and it says if you miss a pill in the 1st week take that pill as soon as your remember even if it means taking 2 the day after.I haven't done this as I didn't realise.What are the possibilties of pregnancy due to this? I have been sexually active throughout this time.

Read the leaflet tht came with your pills. They have a little section that says "what to do if you miss a pill"
If in doubt use a condom for a few days as well.
If you are bad at remembering to take pills then why not try the implant. It exactly the same as the pill but in your arm and it lasts for 3 years.
Good Luck!! xx

what you read is right. if you miss the 2nd day pill you should take it immediately as soon as you remember.. then take the 3rd day pill the same time as you want to take your pills.
yes it is okay to take 2 pills in a day. But if you missed 2 pills like Day 2 and Day 3, then, do not take the Day 2 pill and just take the Day 3 and 4. And i suggest that you use condom for the entire month because you might get pregnant.
Btw, i did not understand what you mean about "break".
Pills should take on the first day of your period the same as the Patches.
It is safe to have sex 7 days DURING menstruation and you will not get pregnant.
