Lost a pill, unsure of what to do?!
Question: Lost a pill, unsure of what to do!?
right so on saturday night i went to take my pill except i dropped it (cos im an idiot) and i couldnt find it anywhere, so just took sunday's pill!.
now its sunday i referred to the leaflet that came with the packet (i didnt have it on saturday) and it says this:
"If you lose a pill the easiest thing to do is just take the last pill of the pack in place of the lost pill!. Then take all the other pills on their proper days!. Your cycle will be one day shorter than normal, but contraceptive protection is not affected!. After you 7 pill-free days you will have a new starting day, one day earlier than before!."
should i just keep going through the pack as i am (on the wrong days) as i will finish on the same day, and take the same number of pills as if i had taken the last pill instead of todays pill, or am i processing something wrong!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't really matter what days pill you take in place of the one you lost, after all, you only have that number of pills left in the pack and if you don't get confused by what day it is then just carry on taking them they way you are doing, as soon as you run out of this pack and have your break just remember to start the new pack using the right day!. The days are only printed on to help us not to forget or get muddled up!.

if you have been on the pill for a while and you feel comfortable then just skip taking one tonight!. or when you have your period you could take it as normal and not take anything one of the days while you have your period to get yourself back on track!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
When I lost a pill i took all the pills left everyday and just finished a day early!. I always do what it says on the leaflet!. Do what you're doing!Www@Answer-Health@Com
