Can I Take My Inactive Pill Before Having Taken The Active Pill?

I forgot to take the last two active pills on yaz and Now I am on my last white pill (inactive) I thought I took the last two but When I actually checked it, it was still there. I'm suppose to get my period since i'm on my last white pill before my new pack... Do I still take my new pack as ususally? what will happen with my period?

Hi,

Since you have missed the last two active pills, the pill free interval is more than 7 days. So there is a possibility of ovulation occurring and you will not be completely protected by the pills.
As you are already on the last white pill ( inactive), start the new pack tomorrow. In addition you should use an additional method of contraception like condom for the first seven days of the new pack, if you have intercourse.
The other alternative will be not to have sex during the first 7 days of the new pack. In all probability you should be starting your periods in a day or two.
I hope this helps
