Use backup: You need to use a backup method of contraception since you have missed so many. The safest thing from there would be to wait a week after you finish the first 3 weeks, have a period, and start the 4th week the Sunday after that period starts if you want to continue these. However, if you have this much trouble remembering to take them, you might want to discuss other options with your doctor.
