Depends on start day: If this was during the1st 3 weeks and you are a sunday starter then keep taking 1 tablet daily until sunday, then throw out the remainder of the pack.Start a new pack the same sunday.If you are a day 1 starter, just throw out the remainder and start a new pack right away.You could become pregnant if you have sex within the 7 days of the missed pills, use back up method like condoms for at ~7 days.
