    I'd say to keep taking it as normal... you can take it a day early no worries, just take the rest of the pills as you normally would.

    Its only if you take it a day late that it means you should use condoms or other precautions for 7 days, i do believe

    Keep taking it, it will just mean that you finish the packet a day early.

    Make sure you remember when you start the following packet after the next break that you will need to start that after 7 days, ie continue with the day early thing, do NOT make the next break a day longer to get back into sync as it will not protect you.

    If you've ended up taking a Tuesday pill on a Monday or something like that then you can always take the last one regardless of what day it is to get back onto the right days.
