I did something similar. Finals were this week and I was not in my normal frame of mind. (They're over, thankfully!) Today is Friday and I just realized that forgot Wednesday's and Thursday's pill. I usually take them at 6pm as well. It was 3:05pm when I realized. Well I took two pills immediately. But what about the third? I never heard of 3 being advisable, so I called my pharmacist and she said to take *only* two pills today. Two more tomorrow and thereafter just one like normal. But consider using a condom or another backup contraception for up to one week after the missed pills. So from today until next Friday, I'll be using condoms to prevent any pregnancy. Oh, and I hope I don't spot like mentioned above. Hope my experience helps too.
