Hi, I am taking the Lo Loestrin Fe birth control pills and I forgot to take yesterday's WHITE pill. Today is the last one, and then I am taking the 2 brown ones, tomorrow and the day after.
Is that a real risk for me? Can I have normal intercourse or should I use condoms? Should I take yesterday's pill today and today's tomorrow? Or both yesterday's and today's pills today?

Take both pills today. It lessens your protection a bit so you may want to use a condom until you are back taking active pills again, for 7 days of the pills.
