Hi! I am on Loestrin 24 Fe and typically wake up in a groggy state of mind every day to take my pill. Sometimes I don't even remember taking it because I am half asleep, but check and end up alright. BUT, I just realized that sometime in the past week, I must have accidentally taken TWO in one day. Oops. So what does this mean? I am supposed to be on my period within the next week, and I haven't had sex in the past week and won't be having sex until whenever I see the boyfriend next (which won't be until next month or so). Once I start my new pack of birth control, do I need to wait a certain amount of time to have sex without backup protection, or should I be ok since it will have been at least 2 weeks, plus starting a new pack? I just have never done this before and would like some tips. Thanks!

Honestly, there aren't any clear directions on a case like this, but I'll go ahead and say that in my opinion and understanding, it is very unlikely that your protection would have been meaningfully compromised.

If you want to be extra-super-duper-safe, use back-up until you've taken seven pills from your next pack (the risk wouldn't be until the placebo week, since there wouldn't have been 21 full days of hormones before the seven-day break). But either way, I'm not sure your protection will have been all that compromised.

Most likely it just means you'll hae your period a day early. I wouldn't skip any, and as long as you don't skip any of them at any point you should be equally protected
