It was better to discontinue pills when you missed 2 pills and wait for
a new period to come and start a new pack...this is what is best for you
to follow; is to stop taking pills and wait for a period to come and
start a new pack with the first day of bleeding ...if you forget taking
pills it could be better to change other method which does not need you
to remember.
