Oralcon Contraceptive Pills - Not Following The Arrows

I've been using Oralcon for over 2 years, I'm very happy with it.

The other day I by accidently started on the wrong side (ie: didn't go according to the arrow indicated), but only noticed when I needed to take the 2nd pill. So I carried on, thinking it was the correct thing to do, but I'm not so sure.

Do I keep going backwards for this week and start the new line as per the arrows, or do I start the line again?

I'm really nervous that I've screwed up the whole cycle and have opened myself up to becoming pregnant. Please help!!

Hello, Blondie! How are you?

There is no need to worry, it doesn't matter which day you take which tablet, they are all the same and have the same amount of hormones in them. The only week that is different is your period week, those tablets are placebos that don't contain anything.

But for the other 21 days, you can take any one of the white tablets any day you wish, as long as you take one each day.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello, Maam, I just found today that I take the white pills with a wrong arrow, instead of taking the white pills forward with the arrow, I take it backward only the white pills, how safe is it from getting pregnant? Thanks..
