Missed a birth control pill , a pill on the third week..do i need backup protection? took two the same day when i remembered(about 32 hours later)

Safe.: By taking two the day following a missed pill you should be safe. However if you're routinely missing pills i might consider switching to a method with more continuous release like a ring, patch, implant, or iud.
