I noticed i must have taken 2 birth control pills on the same day. i'm on the last day and had 0 left so i bought a new pack and took 1. is this ok?

Yes it is ok: You may simply continue taking your contraceptive pills as usual. If you would want to avoid similar situations, consider asking your gynecologist to switch you to an intrauterine device (IUD) or a subdermal implant which are much more effective and "forgettable" methods of contraception. They are the best long-acting-reversible-contraceptives available.

If you have taken your combination birth control pills almost perfectly but start a new pack 15-17 hours later than your scheduled time (take two pills in one day), are you still protected from pregnancy?
