Q: Beginning new BC pack - can I take 2 pills on Day 2?

I forgot to pick up my birth control today to take them. I couldn't get them since all the pharmacists are closed that will give it to me. They said they can fill it for me for tomorrow but I usually start my new pack sunday, will this completely strike me off or can I just take 2 tomorrow and be ok and be still in cycle and safe and will my period still come reguraly or will it all be messed up?
Thanks

Hey, long time no see!

Umm.. well I really don't know.

First of all, it shouldn't effect your period too much if they've gotten regular, so I wouldn't worry about that.

I guess I would take two on Monday like you said, but I would probably use back up for seven days to be safe. Or just take one on Monday and turn into a Monday-start girl. That would work, but you'd still need to use backup.

Hey! I know it has been so long, school and work really took a toll on me and my spare time! How have you been? (So off of topic haha. )

Well the reason I was mainly worried was because of my periods, I love them coming on thursday everytime, it always comes like clockwork and I don't want to mess that up. So I feel good that it wont mess up my cycle. But as far as starting on monday, eh I don't know. Sunday just felt right. Can I start on Monday this month and then go back to sunday next month and be fine? I guess I will just go get them tomorrow and call my doctor. You know how I am, I always stress and worry, this time just about my period cycle hehe. Thanks for replying so fast.

YES, take two in one day.

You would need to use back up for 7 days if you have sex.

By taking 2 pills in one day, your rhythm may stay the same!

Start your next pack on sunday like usual.

Okay thank you!
So tomorrow take two, and it will be as if I took one today? And then next month take on sunday and everything will be like usual?
I really do hope so. :] I don't feel like going through all the bc changes.
Thanks to both of you!

YES, that should do it.

WORST case is that you have some spotting Sad

But the two pills should really help with that.
