A member asked:
Im on norgestimate i was on 9th pill and i made a mistake i took 28 to 25 i mean backwards should i go back to take the 10th or start a new pack?

Contraception: Go back and take the 10th pill. The final pills are dummy pills to just help you remember to keep taking them. Therefore you may be at risk of getting pregnant, so take extra precautions this month.
