missed a pill...

[pagey3]

I am on the contraceptive pill, and am fully aware that if you miss one you are not protected against pregnancy until 7 days later...what if you miss one less than 7 days before your gap though?

i missed one last saturday, and then took my pill as normal sunday monday and tuesday, but then stopped for my 7 day gap, I have started my pill again yesterday(weds). When I am protected against pregancy again? is it just seven days after the missed one, or do I have to take 7 days pills in a row to be protected again?

I'm very confused any advice most welcome!

thank you

you wouldn't have been protected for 7 days after the missed one. So after a week (last sat) you are protected again.

You have to take 7 pills in a row to be protected again.

If you have less than 7 pills left in the packet after you've missed one then you start the next pack straight away with no 7 day break.
