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!

But either way, I'm not sure your protection will have been all that compromised.
