I have been on yasmin for the past 11 months and have never missed a pill. However, this month, absentmindedly I took 2 pills on the same night at the interval of perhaps 2 hours. As a result, I finished taking my 21st pill on a thursday instead of the usual friday. I usually get my period on tuesdays, but this time I got it on monday.

Now, I am confused as to when to start my next cycle of taking pills?

Under normal circumstances, my 21st pill would have been on a friday, so I after the 7 day break, I would take the first pill of the following cycle on a saturday.

This month, since I took an extra pill on one of the days resulting in the 21st pill being consumed on a thursday - should I take the first pill of the new cycle on:

- saturday, as usual
- on friday, sticking to the 7 days of break formula

also, are there any side effects that I should worry about because of the excess dosage on a single night?

Please help! I would be very grateful.
