Good thinking on the instructions GP! Sometimes ppl forget they come with the handy-dandy little inserts. I believe depending on what type of pill (brand) and what "stage" in the cycle you're on that makes it all complicated. (i.e. the different weeks have different hormone levels)
If you're taking Ortho TriCyclen Lo - here's what it says - If you miss 3 more more white, light blue, or dark blue "active' pills in a row (during the first 3 weeks) -
1) Sunday starter- Keep taking 1 pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and starte a new pack that same day.
2) Day 1 Starter- throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack the same day.
So I would def. read your insert to see what it says!
