I started my new birth control pills 2 days later than I was supposed to this month, so I had a 9 day break between active pills instead of the usual 7. Instead of taking two active pills for the first two days once I started the pack I have taken the normal 1 pill a day at my usual time. I have done this consistently for 3 days now, but am wondering if I should continue taking 1 a day for the rest of the month or if I should take 2 pills for the next two days even though I missed them a few days ago.
I am sexually active and am worried that I will not be as protected from pregnancy for the remainder of this month since I started this pack late and did not take the "catch up" pills in the first days that I started my pack.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice to give, I appreciate it.
