Hey
I woke up this morning and realised i had totally forgotten to take my pill yesterday, so i'm a whole 24 hours late, anyway i took that missed pill but what do i do with today's, Sunday? It says on the leaflet to take the missed one asap but what about the other, should i just take Sundays, tomorrow and carry on and then go onto the next pack and miss my period?
Help would be apprecieated.
Also i had sex last night, so you know, is there a chance i could be pregnant or is it only small as i have taken the rest of the pills on time?
Thank you x

Throw the pill away/ignore it and carry on tomorrow like normal.
Also, you need some emergency contraception as you weren't covered for last nights sex if you didn't take your pill yesterday.
But wouldnt all the other pills have protected me, wouldnt missing one just lower the level of protection? Is MAP really neeeded?
Yes, it actually reads
What do you do if you forget
to take a pill?
If you forget to take your pill, read the informational
inserts or follow the instructions below:
If you miss one pill: Take it as soon as you remember
and continue with the next pill at your regular time
(even if that means taking two pills in one day until you
finish the pack). It is best to use abstinence or a
backup method for the remainder of your pill pack.
Well i took Saturdays this morning and then this afternoon i took Sundays, leaving 6 pills left until my 7 days break, but i'm going to carry the next pack straight on and miss my period, is there a high chance of being pregnant at all do you think? And what i did, is that ok?
Well do you normally take your pill in the afternoon? Taking the next one later decreases the effectivness even more.
I normally take them in the morning, i took the one i missed yesterday this morning like a normally would have done, but then also took what i was meant to have taken today if i hadnt of forgotten yesterday this afternoon.
