Ok, so I don't know what I was thinking last night (thrusday) but for some reason I was convinced it was friday, when I picked up my bcp pack to take them - I saw the thrusday one there and took both thrusday and friday! now I don't have a pill to take tonight!

What should I do?

Hi laura_girl,

If I were you I'd keep taking my actives and finish the pack. If you have a spare pack you can take an active from that and retain your start day. If not, then you will have to advance your start day one day earlier since you can go no more than 7 24-hour days without hormones and retain your protection. Or, you can retain your start day and use back-up after the 7th day w/o hormones and for 7 days of correct active pill use. Let us know what you decide, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
