Take 2: Take 2 pills today and use a back up method of contraception until you are finished with the first 2 weeks of the next pack. Try setting an alarm in your phone to remind you so that this won't happen again ( it happens to just about every one some time). Hope this helps.

Double-1 day only: this will fully protect you; however, can cause some transient bleeding.
