Depending upon how you messed up prior to starting the new pack, the
answers are different. If you didn't miss more than 2 pills and doubled
up, it shouldn't be a problem. If the mess up was more than that, it
can be either one or the other problem. Why not take a pregnancy test
to be sure?
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
