Read the information included in the packaging. It will tell you what to do after missing a certain amount of pills.

For me, my instructions are if I miss one day, take the pill as soon as I remember and take the next pill at the appropriate time (which may mean two pills in the same day). If I miss two days, I am supposed to not take those pills, start on the next day and use a back up protection method.

Hope that helps.

I did this all the time throughout the years of taking it!  Eek is right!  But its okay.  When ever I missed 1-2 pills, I took the doses I missed immediately and resumed with the remainder as normal.  If I missed 3 or more, I resumed with the current day, acknowledged that I screwed up, and used condoms during sexual intercourse until I got my period.  

I always had problems with starting a new pack or whatever it suggested to do, because then my cycles would be way off for a couple of months.  That's no fun either.  Other women may disagree, but no harm done to me.
