Ok, so, saturday was my last day of active
pills in my pack and I forgot to take it.
But for whatever reason I took it sunday
night, which would have been then start of
my inactive pills and I would get my
period. Well, its wednesday and I always
get my period on wednesdays, but this time
I didnt. I know its because I took that
last active pill on sunday, but is that
totally going to screw things up or does
it just mean that im going to get my
period a day later than usual? Any info
would be fabulous! Thanks! :d

Hmm...On the pill if you miss even one and
take it later you can get strange
bleeding. Especially on low dose pills.
I'd say you'd just get it a little later
then normal but it shouldn't be too out of
the ordinary.

Yeah... I got it today like I thought I
would, I just wanted to make sure it wasnt
going to totally mess things up so my body
would hate me forever
thanks for the feedback though! :d
That is one of the best things about being
on the pill, is that it's possible to
change the dates when you get your period.
It really isn't a big deal to take on
extra pill so that it starts a day later,
or one less for a day earlier, so that you
don't get it when you have a hot date or
whatever. I have even done an extra week
so that I wouldn't bleed while on holiday.
I've always had a spare pack of pills, so
that I could take a few extra here and
there, and then always so that my period
turned up on a tuesday so it was done by
lunchtime friday! There is nothing
magical about a 28 day cycle, that is only
a convenient average, so don't worry about
taking one more or one less, it should be
seen as one more additional freedom and
bit of power that being on the pill gives
to women!
thanks for the feedback though! :d
