It is pretty much like missing a pill. Which isn't the end of the world. Though make sure you keep taking them the same time everyday. It is only a problem if you forgot a few in a row or if you forget to take one once every week. With perfect use birth control pills can protect you 99.99% But if you forget one every once in a while it goes down to about 92%. So make sure you take your pills at the same time every day. If you have trouble remembering the pill you should switch to another type of birth control like that patch or the depo shot.

Should you start your next pill pack on the usual day when your period is late by a day?
Yes, you should take your birth control pill as scheduled regardless of any bleeding.
What happens if you lose one birth control pill?
If you lose a birth control pill, take the next day's pill, and so on, until you finish the pack. You'll start your next pack a day early, as it's important not to go more than seven days without taking an active pill. In other words, if you started this last pack with the lost pill on Sunday, you'll start the next pack on Saturday, and that will be your new start day.
By mistake i took the pill for 22 days thus after following the 21 day regime i started another pack and took a pill the day after how should i go about it?
You have two choices. YOu can continue the pack you started accidentally, or you can take a break of no longer than seven days to have a withdrawal bleed. If you do the latter, just start the pack after that a day earlier than scheduled, so that you don't go more than seven days without an active pill.
How do you move your birth control pill start day a day later?
You will lose protection if you start the new pack a day late (that is, if you go more than seven days without taking an active pill). If you do that, you must use a back up method for the first seven days of that new pack. A better way to move your start day a day later is to take the first placebo pill in the pack as scheduled, then start your new pack the next day. Doing so will not affect protection.
What do you do if you missed the last pill before the sugar pills?
You can either take it (if you're a day late) or skip it and begin the new pack as scheduled.
Is it okay if you started taking your birth control pill the day after your period ended?
You really should of taken the pill the day your period started so it doesnt alter your cycle. But yes its ok but your period may be late next month.
What would happen if you were just starting birth-control pills after a month's break and you started the new pack one day late Would this effect your body or the effectiveness of the pill?
The more time apart from taking your pills, the less effective. Continue taking the new pack regularly.
Do you always have to start every pack in the same day you started the first one?
No, you can change the start day, but you should always change by taking the first pill of the new pack earlier than scheduled and not later.
What should you except if you have started your on the last day of your sugar pills and still haven't started your period?
dont stress, stress makes you late if you're on the pill or not
Is it okay if you take the pill on the 5th day of your menstruation?
If this is your first day taking the pill, you should start the pack on the first day of your period. If you are already taking the pill, take one every day, even when you have your period. Follow the instructions that come with the pack.
Will it make a difference if you take a pill one day before if can not remember the day you fished on just before your period?
You have the right idea. It would be far better to accidentally start the next pack a day early, rather than running the risk of starting the next pack a day late.
What happends when i take a Saturday pill and a Sunday pill at the same time by accident?
Since this is added to birth control pill category I assume you mean those. It means you are at risk for pregnancy. Missing one pill is all it takes and also if you don't take it on time. Maybe the shot would be a better option for you. You can read all about different types of birth control on the Planned Parenthood website.
