If you took two pills in a day accidentally, just "steal" the last pill from the pack for tomorrow's pill, and take the pills daily as scheduled. You will end this pill pack a day early, and should start the next pack a day early as well; that will be your new start day. It's important that you don't go more than seven days without an active pill.
If you took two pills on the same day to make up for a missed pill, that's fine. You may have some nausea from doubling up, but you did the right thing.
If you're taking double pills every day under the mistaken impression that it will increase your pregnancy protection, you should stop and double up with a barrier method instead.
