Q: One Day Off On Pack?

Hi! Smile last week I lost one of my pills, so I called planned parenthood to double check on whether or not it's safe for me to take the next day's pill since I lost the one I was to take that day, and they said that's what I need to do. Now i'm one day ahead on my pills and i'm almost at the end of the pack. I'll finish this one off on friday. So on saturday should I open my next pack of pills and take sunday's pill (as i'm a sunday start) or should I not take any pill at all on saturday and wait until sunday to take sunday's pill? I'm sure not taking any pill at all on saturday could effect the chances of me becoming pregnant, however, since my period ends on friday I figured the chances would be low. Any advice would be appreciated girls. Smile

thanks!
Nicole

One day should not throw you off. I would start on sunday. Maybe be careful for the first week but it shouldn't cause any problems to be one day off.
