A member asked:
I think i took two birth control pills in one day by accident. i am a pill short in my 21 day packet. can i still proceed to my placebo pills or do i need to skip to a new packet to prevent pregnancy?

Birth control pills: Taking two pills at once should cause no harm, proceed to the placebo pills as you would normally. The new packet would then start a day earlier than usual.
