Pill problems

I'm new to this board and needed some advice...so here goes.

Yesteday I was in a rush to get ready to go out and had a pill before and after I was ready to go because I forgot I had already had one and I was too rushed to check the days. It's the weekend so I can't see my GP but I need some advice as soon as possible. Has anyone done this, or know what to do? I'm really worried. I know that it wont have an effect on my body for taking 2 in one day, its just what to do for todays tablet that has me confused.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Just use a back up method for the next 7 days. If you have an extra pack, though, you could take one from it. It is good to have an extra pack that you can take from in cases like this.

my ob always told me to take 2 in one day when I missed one, so i dont see how it could be a problem if you took an extra one in one day. just take the next pill on the day you are supposed to and if you are worried still then use an extra form of bc for a week or so.
