I have been taking the contraceptive pill for 4 years and for the first time, I forgot to take it for 2 days in a row. What should I do?

If you have forgotten to take your birth control pill for two days in a row, it is important to take a pill as soon as you realize the mistake. Additionally, using an additional form of contraception, such as a condom, for the next 7 days is recommended. If you have had sexual intercourse in the past 5 days, consider taking emergency contraception (Plan B) as a precaution.
