Took wrong day pill birth control?

Ok so I accidentally didn't take some of the sugar pills because I was out late and I knew it would be ok. So last night I started my new pack which was Saturday. I didn't realize that I should have waited until Sunday!! I had one more extra fake pill to take. What should I do? Should I take Mondays pill today and jus be off one day? Won't that just equal out towards the end during the sugar pills? Idk what to do. I'm thinking just waitin until tomorrow to take Mondays on time. Will this mess up anything. If I do skip tonight how will this effect sex and how long before I'm completely protected again? I always use back up protection but I'm just curious. Thanks!!!

    You're fine! If you had waited a day too late to start your new pack (not taking your first active pill until Monday) than that is risky because when your body is off of the hormones for more than 7 days it might not get the message to suppress ovulation that month.. but since you took your active pill a day early that is fine. I would just keep taking one active pill each day and you would just start the new pack for next month on Saturday.

    Is your Saturday tablet the identical colour as the only for Sunday? If it's you'll be able to simply take that, and your interval will come as natural. If now not you can get your interval an afternoon previous. That might be first-class.
