A member asked:

Missed pill the other day, had unprotected sex last night, meant to start white pills today, should i skip them or not. morning pill not an option.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Take the pill you were regularly scheduled to take as well as the missed pill.(doubling up on your pills) for the number of days missed, then check a pregnancy test at the end of this cycle if no period.
