Ive been taking microgynon 30 for 6 months now, ive never forgotten a pill until today I messed up :!: I decided to run two packs together for the first time, which obviously meant starting the second pack the day after I usually start.
Well to cut a long story short I thought id missed a pill because id taken the day marked "monday" (my usual day) instead of tuesday. I took another (knowing that if you miss a pill you should take it asap, even if that means taking two).
I then realised that I hadnt missed one, so ive taken todays pill and tomorrows in one go. Should I take my next pill the day after tomorrow and just take extra precautions?

So you've taken 2 pills by mistake? I wouldn't worry too much, if you just continue the packet as usual and then have your 7 days as normal after that packet (this will mean you will take the last one in the pack the day you normally do) I think you should be ok.

If you are in doubt contact your gp or local family planning centre.
