...I went to Italy for a vacation, and I think the time change messed stuff up with my pills...I got back and continued to take them, and then I realized on a Friday that I had already taken Saturday's pill! I don't think I would have taken two pills in one day; I think maybe the time time change just caused it to happen that way....so I didn't have a pill to take on Saturday, and I got period about a day earlier than normal...is this anything I should be terribly concerned about? I haven't been sexually active since I got my period, but I was sexually active the week that I got back (in other words the week that I accidentally took one pill too soon)...we always use condoms w/ spermicide, so I'm not freaking out, but I just wanted to know if that would have any affect on things....I plan to start my new pack tomorrow (I'm a Sunday starter) as usual....
Any answers would be great!!

Getting your period a day earlier after stopping the hormone pills a day earlier sounds perfectly normal. Time zones can be so confusing!!!!!
I agree with happyjusttwo! If you go more than 7 24-hour days between active pills you loose your protection! So be sure you continue to use condoms for all acts of IC until you have taken at least 7 active pills in your new pack. Otherwise, it sounds like you should be fine. Thanks for posting.
Good luck,
