> Ok... I looked online for the info and it only says if you MISS a pill not if you LOOSE one!!!

Er... You don't think that losing a pill is simply one way to miss one?

It is as people have said already... If you take an active pill out of your next pack so that you have taken active pills properly for 21 days... Then you will still be protected. If you miss a pill from the end of the active pills then you need to apply the 7 day rule (use alternative birth control - NOT rythm or withdrawal methods - for 7 days).

It is up to you...

Take one of the active pills from the next pack so you don't have to apply the 7 day rule (all the active pills are identical)
OR
Only take 20 active pills this month - and remember to apply the 7 days of alternative birth control rule.

If you take an active pill from the next pack so you don't have to apply the 7 day rule... Then just remember to take 21 active pills next month.
