This is a two part question... First I forgot to take one of my green pills and I took it the next day instead of throwing it away. I was out of the country and couldn't find what to do with it. I also had sex on the last day of green pills, and took the pill that night. However the next day when I started my white pills, I forgot to take that one. Would that effect that night?? I'm pretty paranoid so I just wanted to know what I should do... Thanks to anyone who answers. :confused:

Are the green pills the placebos? If so, they're just sugar pills. Reminders. So you don't actually need to take them, as they don't actually do anything.

But, if you missed the first hormone pill of your pack, you need to use back up for seven days. You really might want to think about getting the morning after pill since you were late starting your new pack of pills, and any time you lengthen the pill-free week you up your risk of pregnancy. So long as it hasn't been 72 hours since you forgot the pill and had sex, it isn't too late.
