If you missed a day, do you take the pill you were supposed to take the day before, or the one you're supopsed to take today?

It's okay to take the day that you missed along with the right day.

take 2 today and go back to regular dosing tomorrow. If you missed 2 days you could take 2 for 2 days but you would want to use a secondary birth control method to prevent pregnancy for at least a week.

If you remember later that same day, just take the the pill. If you remember the next day double up on pills that day. If you forget 3 days you probably shouldn't rely on the pill because taking it regulary is the best way to ensure it's effectiveness.

If you miss one, take both the next day

Take them both.
FYI: Not taking your pill on a regular schedule can cause them not to work properly, therefore -- you can become pregnant. You should have gotten a peice of paper telling you everything you need to know about taking your medicine. Read that and you should get all the information you need.

take both at the same time and continue the next day the same time you usually take it. you should be protected but if you miss another day, continue to take the pill but use a second form of protection.

Both. If you screw it up again your taking a chance to get knocked up.
Throw away the pack at that point and use another form of birth control until the following cycle and begin again.
Better safe than sorry.

Generally you take them both - but read the instructions that come with each pack of pills to determine the exact right course for your brand.
