So I'm a Sunday starter and was suppose to take it Sunday 9/28/14 but I didn't remember until today's. I was wondering what I should do now to get back on track

Hi Anon,

Thank you for visiting the EmpowHER community for advice!

You need to call your doctor and he or she will tell you when to start a new pak. It will depend on your cycle and what brand you are taking etc. etc.

Here is some information from the EmpowHER community about missed pills that you should read:
