Start to take them again omitting the last 3 days, use additional protection for 2 weeks. Do not have a 7 day break, continue through to your next pack without a break.
You may spot as you have not been taking them for some time.
Do not catch up by taking the last 3 doses.
For clarification, you could call NHS Direct for advice.

If I were you (I always forget my pill), if its been at least 25 days since your last period,then just extend the pill break so that you haven't taken a pill for 7 days, just as if you were on a normal break. Then start taking them again. Shouldn't need to use condoms in this case, but better safe than sorry.

Depends on if your period starts.
If your period begins before you get back on them then leave it until after you period is finished and then start a new packet from scratch. Until day 7 of your new pack you will need to use extra contraceptive methods.
If you get to your pill before your period has begun, then start taking on the day you are on. Don't try and catch up on pills, leave the days you've missed well alone. Use extra contraceptives for 7 days.
Hope this helps xx

Begin a new pack on the first day you start to bleed - that way you will only need to use extra precautions (condoms) for 1 week to be certain.

No you need to start a new pack when it is time. Do not try to make up the missed doses. You will need to use the condoms again just like before.

You've probably missed too many days in a row now so yeah, thinking that you are just going to have to restart after your period and use condoms for a month or two after that.
