Q: Microgynon 30 - Lost Last Pill

Okay, so I'm on my first pack of Microgynon 30 and I'm about half way through the pack. I started mid cycle because my Doctor told me that was fine as there was no chance of my being pregnant. I've somehow lost the last pill out of the packet?
When it comes to taking that one, what should I do?
Should I take a pill from another packet, or should I... leave it and start taking it again a day early or... take it again after my break, normal time as if I've forgotten to take one rather than starting a day early?
The leaflet suggests taking the last pill in the pack in replacement but obviously that's not going to help much Smile

Thanks a lot.

when you say last pill do you mean a placebo pill, or an active pill. because if it is a placebo pill it doesnt matter those are just reminders, so in that case dont take the pill you lost that day and start taking your next pack when you are scheduled to.

Yes! Just open a new pack and "steal" the correct day's pill from it. That pack is now your "back up pack" in case you ever drop another one of those infuriatingly tiny pills!
