A member asked:

Left my birth control at my mums. it was the third saturday pill. i had my other pack at my house so i took the third saturday pill from it.affective?

Yes: If you did not miss two pills in a row it should still be effective. Continue your current pack to the end then start at top of your current pack. Have you mother mail you your old pack and finish that after finishing your current pack
