Should I Start With A New Pack Of Contraceptive Pills Having Missed The Current Ones For Six Days Continuously?
To Whom it May Concern, I m currently on my 6th day in a row of having missed active Ortho Tri yclen Lo birth control pills. I went away on vacation and forgot the pack. I don t know what to do!..... Do I continue the pack, leaving the pills I missed there? Do I dispose of the pack and start a new one the Saturday after my next period (normally I always start my packs on Saturdays)? Is it possible to work this out so I start my next pack on a Sunday? I just want to do what ever is safest for me.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
When an individual misses 1 tablet, they can take 2 the next day, but when they miss two doses they are required to use another form of contraception and report to their doctor immediately.
Your doctor will advise you on how and when to start the new pack.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
