Q: 

Can I skip this month's pill?

I've been on the pill for roughly 4 1/2 months now.
Last month my doctor changed me from Qlaira to Zoely, and I did as said and went straight from the last active pill in Qlaira to the 1st active pill in Zoely.

I think stupidly missed my 7th pill in the pack due to a university assignment distracting me. I took it as soon as I remembered which was at the same time as my next pill, and it said if I missed one and took it as soon as I remembered, the reliability of the pill would be maintained, it would only be a problem if I missed 2 or more.

Four days after that missed pill I have unprotected sex twice, the 1st time he did not finish and the second he pulled out and I finished him off via a handjb. I talked to the pharmacist who said I would have been protected; however, I'm still a bit nervous.

My period is due in a week and a half and I was going to wait to see if I got my period; however, I was planning to go to the beach the day my period starts, for a week. Therefore, in normal circmstances I would skip my period, but would this be wise from the facts above?

Thanks for your advice.
