Hey, I'm on Marvelon 28 for a few years now, and I just found out for the last two days, I took the last two pills of the third row instead of the first two pills of the third row as usual (was holding it from the side we don't see a thing...), which means I just took the two last pills before the placebo pills of the pack... They probably have less hormons in them because now, I have a bit my periods even if it's supposed to be in a week.
X X X X X X X
X X X X X X X
o o o o o X X
o o o o o o o --- placebo pils
The X's are the pills I took.
Shall I take as the next pill the first one of the third row and so on or shall I go directly to the placebo? I have been having intercourse during the last days and I so don't wanna get pregnant...

IF all the pills in the third row are the same color, take the other pills in that row then take the placebo pills.

All the pills have the same amount of the hormone in them unless they are the placebo. So unless you took the placebo you should still be protected start taking the pills like you should after your period and use a condom if u are really super worried about getting preg.

No! What you should do is stop taking your pills, allow for your period to come as if you were taking the placebo pills as normal, then begin a whole new cycle of pills just as you would if you hadn't missed taking them correctly . By taking the pills out of sequence you are at a risk of getting pregnant.
People may say "oh thats not going to happen the % is too small for me to get pregnant and I have been on the pill for so long it has to be in my system.". That's what I thought too. I was on BC for 7 yrs and then chose to have my daughter. I immediately went back on BC after she was born. 2 yrs later I missed 2 pills, not even in order, and I found out the next month that I was pregnant with my son. So it does happen... For some people (like myself) coming ff BC can actually increase the chance of pregnancy.

you should probably take the rest of the pills because if you dont finish all of them then you will really throw off your cycle. and even if you took the wrong two you shouldnt get your period yet because you wouldnt normally get it when you those last two pills in the first place. I would just keep taking the rest of the third row. Especially if you don't want to get pregnant (all the morning after-pill is are two birth control pills.)

You have to call your doctor and ask him, if he feel you are in sme danger you can even have postinor as a backup method to be sure; but as your system has hormones in it due to the pillit is tricked it is pregnant and it is unlikely you can get pregnant; ask your doctor, cause you can have strange bleedings due to this.
Good luck! ;D
