 [ Symptoms ] i accidentally took two birth control pills on the same day what do i do now that i will be one pill short on this pack  i never missed a pill i just took two by accident i still have 3 weeks left in the pack so should i continue taking it as usual it is minestrin 24 fe should i just begin my new pack a day early or skip the last pill in the pack and start when i normally would also am i still fully protected from pregnancy i am assuming so since i just doubled up on hormones for a day [ Disease ] you are right that you should still be fully protected against pregnancy since you doubled up on a pill instead of skipping it i would recommend you continue the pack as usual and then start the new pack a day early in other words just continue as if you did not take the extra pill hope this helps
