not only did i miss the pill..

I lost it. Can you believe it? I took the pill out of its packet because I was going out, and I put it in my pocket. Of course, I forgot to take it anyway, so its almost 3am now and I just remembered I need to take it. I went to get it from my pocket and it's gone, so yeah, I probably lost it.
Does anyone know what the consequence of completely missing out on one whole pill?

Hi,
The same thing happened to me a while ago, so I asked my doctor what to do, and they said to keep the taking the pill as normal but use alternative forms of contraception for 7 days. I have done this a few times, and it has worked for me.
hope this helps

"Or, you could retain your regular start day and use back-up from day 6 of your placebo interval until you had taken at least 7 active pills in a row from the new pack."
Do you think you can explain this in a different way, I'm not quite sure I follow. At least about the back up from day 6 of placebo part. Thanks a lot! :)
