Ok, so I left my pills on the bathroom counter and my son got a hold of them and popped one out before I could stop him (he just keeps getting taller and taller). I searched high and low for that damn thing. Who the heck knows where it ended up!
So, my question is, how do I handle this? Can I just skip over that day entirely? Or do I have to start a new pack? I really don't want to start a new pack since that will through my period off track and waste the remaining pills in my current pack. I have been on the pill for years and years and years and this has never happened to me before!

Use protection for a week if its a missing ACTIVE pill.
If its the sugar pill week, then don't worry about it.
Read the pamphlet that came with your pack!
(or google it, or call the pharmacist, or the doctor!)

one pill shouldn't be a huge deal. your other option is to take the last active pill in your pack for today, and then take the remainder of the pack like normal. your period MAY come one day early, and may be normal. continue with a new pack as usual.
