"I take my pill continuously but I forgot it for 4 days, what should I do?"

If you have been taking your birth control pill continuously and missed it for 4 days, you can simply resume taking it as normal without needing to take extra pills to make up for the missed ones. As long as you haven't gone more than 7 days without taking your pill, the contraceptive should still be effective.
