Missed my first two birth control pills—what now?

I was supposed to take my first pill on Saturday night. It’s Monday now—I’ve missed two.

Should I follow the instructions that say, "if you're more than 12 hours late from your usual time, or if you've been vomiting or had diarrhea, just get back on track with the remaining pills at your regular time to avoid breakthrough bleeding," or is there something else I should do since I missed the very first one? The lady at CVS wasn't even sure herself. She told me to just take pill 19, like nothing happened... but then she suggested I might need to take a break. When I asked her if it was smart to just decide to take a break on my own, she switched back and said just take them like normal. Now I don't trust a word she says. 😁

Look, I know I'm not protected against pregnancy this month. You don't need to spell that out for me. I can't see my OBGYN until tomorrow afternoon, so I need advice on what to do... right now. 😁 Do I take them or not? Argh! I'm trying to reach a second doctor, but I'm asking you guys just in case.

If anyone knows what to do or has been through this, please help. I'd really appreciate an answer. 🙂

edit: The second doctor told me to just take pill 19 like normal. Mods can close this thread. I'd delete it myself but the forum won't let me. 😁

If I were in your shoes, I’d definitely go with the 19-day option... It just seems counterproductive to put your body through all that stress only to force a month-long break right after.
