Should I take the Plan B pill or continue taking my regular pill while also using an additional form of protection if I forgot to take my pill during the first week of the pack?

If you have forgotten to take your pill during the first week of your pack, and it has been more than 24 hours since the scheduled time, you should take the missed pill as soon as possible. You can then continue taking your pills at the usual time, but you should also consider taking emergency contraception (Plan B) for any recent sexual activity. Additionally, it is advisable to use a second method of protection for the next 7 days. Remember that this advice applies only if you are currently in the first week of your pack and have completed your previous period.
