You can take it now and then again at 9pm like usual. I have done that before and called my doc and they said take it as soon as you remember UNLESS it is within 8hours of your next one.

It is important to know which type of pill you are taking, If its a combined pill(cocp) then you take take your forgotten one straight away as long as its not more than 24 hours late and carry on rest of packet as before, but if it is mini-pill(POP) then its 3 hours delay means you are not protected, you should carry on with rest of your pills but use extra precaution such as condom or avoid sex for next seven days before it is safe to have sex again. Otherwise,
1. read the leaflet which comes with packet,
2. Contact local Family planning clinic( if in UK)
3. Ring your GP (for UK)
4. Speak to Practice Nurse

call your doctor or pharmacist to be sure, all pill brands have different instructions. but make sure that you use back up protection for the rest of your cycle, being more than 2 hours late taking your pill CAN allow for your body to oulate, meaning there is an increased possibility of becoming pregnant

Take yesterday's pill and today's pill at the regular time of 9pm.
Most pill instructions say to do that. I have been on several brands.

If you ever forget to take the pill, take it as soon as you remember. And don't take the next one AT LEAST 2 hours after the one you just took.
