Lost a Pill!!

I was taking one of my "sugar pills" (you know,the last few that you take in the pack, the ones that cause your period to start and that don't really contain anything) and it popped out and I lost it! Is it okay for me to just skip it altogether since it's one of the last ones in the pack and just start the new one like normal in a couple of days?

Hi blushingbride, welcome back!

It's not a problem if you loose one of your placebo pills. They are just place holders to keep you in the habit of taking your pills. They have no effect on your protection. You should begin your new pack on your regular day and time OK?

Good luck
