General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi.

When a pill is ever missed, you should take 2 pills the next day, and in your case as you forgot the day before yesterday then I would say there is no need to take the extra pill now but you can continue to do so without any real harm or issues. But for future reference: you miss taking a pill 1 day, take 2 pills the other day, but if you miss taking pills for 2 days, discontinue the whole pack and speak to your doctor about starting a new one (and of course use an alternate method of birth control in the mean time).

Best wishes.
