hey ladies,
i have a dilemma. today i was outside and was trying to pop a pill out of my yasmin pack when it dropped and landed on the dirty dirty ground. needless to say, i didnt pick it up. anyway, i took the pill for the next day instead. what do i do now? keep taking it normally and then start my period early? or should I take another pill from a new pack? (but if i do that, i'll be a pill short on that pack right?) umm.. any help is appreciated =) if i just keep taking it and end my active pill on saturday instead of my usual sundays, can i start again the next sunday or do i have to start the active pills on a saturday again?

any input is appreciated! thanks!

You can do a couple of things. If you are having sex, just keep taking the pills and be a pill short, but if you can abstain I would just stop at that last pill and just have your period early. Or you can use a back-up method until you complete your next pack.

Whatever you do...don't take an extra placebo day to make up for it at the end of the pack.
