A member asked:
I'm on my second week of 28-day sprintec, but i managed to start this week backwards and have taken 3 pills this way. should i worry? what do i do?

No, you are fine: As long as the pills are the same color, the order does not matter. You take the first pill for 21 days and the second for 7. THOSE pills you do not want to mix up.
