Missed a pill?

As there are always so many questions and threads on here about missed pills, we decided to go off in search of some expert advice to give you. As a result, the lovely people at the fpa (formerly the Family Planning Association) have kindly answered a couple of FAQs so you lot can get the lowdown on what to do when you've missed a pill.
We have one about the combined pill - here
and another about the progestogen-only pill - here
Hope they come in handy, just remember they aren't a substitute for proper medical advice.

Is it ok to miss out a period more than once because a friend of mine says that her doctor is on the pill but always misses her period because it is 'fake' anyway and its ok to do so. I hate my period but i have only ever missed it once this way, shall i just continue to have it or is it ok to miss it as it is not really there??
:nervous:
If so, you can do that up to three times in a row.
Here are some links to people asking similar questions.

Thanks:)
Simple.
It's handy to have an easy source of info, rather than having to pick though all the waffle in the teeney leaflets that half the time is incomprehendable. It's also nice when you're panicking to find what you need to know in more than one place so you know you've understood it.
y do u carry the box tho? just out of curiousity x
I'm probably an exception though, I sail, I kayak and I camp. I've tried my wallet and the current sheets don't fit, but even when they do, the bubbles get squashed and they occasionally escape.
i totally admire u! i hate anything to do with water (apart from hygene of course lol)

i had unprotected sex the day before i took the last pill in my pack, i had my 7 day break but only had a realli light period. could i be pregnant??
no, it's very unlikely if you havent missed any other pills in the pack/ had the squits/ thrown up this month. if u have your protection my be down, so its possible, but i find my periods are always lighter on the pill.
as it is not safe and the chances of risk will always be there
and the progesterone is always there to get rid of the whole problem anyways
Dont worry
