If forgotten to take one pill the next day at the same time you will Usually take your pill , you will take 2 pills instead of 1. If forgotten to take the pill 2-days in a row, then you would take two pills the day after and an additional two pills the day after that . If you forget to take the pill 3-days in a roll you must throw the pack away and start a new pack. These Directions are from current NP Sarah K Goldberg From NY presbyterian

You need to take your pill as soon as you remember and continue taking your pills as normal. If you've missed a pill completely then use a condom for 7 days.

If you take the morning after pill and contiue to take the birth control pill is the birth control still effective for the rest of the month?

If you had missed a pill or been late with a pill, causing you to take the morning after pill, then you should use a back up method of birth control for the next seven days. If you didn't forget a pill or take a pill late, then I'm not sure why you took the morning after pill, but the birth control pill will still be effective even though you took the morning after pill. The morning after pill doesn't make the birth control pill less effective.
