Missing the Pill On the Last Day...
Posted: 02-10-07 19:08pm

I woke up this morning, tried to take my pill, but I was so tired I dropped it and couldn't find it. It's the last day before the placebos. Since missing this pill would mean I have an 8-day period instead of 7, do I have to use backup for the week I start again, or should I take an active pill after 7 days are up?

you should probably just take an active pill after 7 days, though at this point that 8th day wouldn't hurt either. It's up to you!
