Answers:
If you missed it yesterday, consider it day 1 of the 7 pills you are supposed to skip. By the time Friday gets here, your seven day gap will be complete, start taking your pills exactly like you would after your 7 day gap. So your first actual bc pill should start Saturday March 5, 2011. Don't have sex without protection for at least 14 days, and a doctor would tell you 30 days. It will take 14 days from next Saturday before you are fully protected. Keep in mind, BC pills are only 99% effective. They also do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. So, if you have more than one lover, I'd advise condoms anyway, and if you are in a committed relationship, use a spermicide as a little extra protection. I hope this helps you get back on track. If you need any more help or have questions, feel free to e-mail me. Lydia

Get you prescription asap when you get back and it's your responsibility to foresee these things and to plan ahead and take care of them. You shouldn't be getting the new pack around the last day of pills really. You should really aim at getting a new pack around the beginning of your last week of pills.
Until then, use back up birth control for a few weeks, even when you start up your new pack.
