Q: What Should I Do?

Over the past few days my mind has seemed to have been preoccupied with other things... On saturday I forgot to take my pill, and only remembered it the next morning, I took it right away, then that night I took my sunday pill, but a few hours late. Then last night again I totally forgot about it until this morning, but took it right away.. So my question is.. Should I just continue taking it like normal (9:30 at night) or should I be doing something different?

Hey,
i know all pills vary slightly, but I don't think it makes too much of a difference, so here's what my doctor told me (i'm on marvelon)
keep taking the pill at the same time
take all missed pills as soon as you remember (even if it's 2) but use back up contraception for at least a week.
