So what's with the idea that a woman's cycle is supposed to be 28 days? A length of time which happens to correspond to an even 4 weeks? I know my natural cycle can be anywhere from around 30 to full 43 days. And what of it? It's never caused me any problems.
However, those days are no more. Starting very soon I will be hormonally regulated. A crisp 28 day routine mapped out in neat rows of pink and white. Mapped to the hour. God forbid you miss a dose. I feel anxious about such a thing, to take a purposeful, external hand to my natural state. I fear what it could end up doing to my body. And yet, the dangers of continuing to refuse this safety net now worry me even more. I can no longer take such a risk.
Oy, I'm so dramatic.

if you catch a missed dose within 24 hours it's no big deal.
one pill lasts around 48 hours. If you miss it and (though you shouldn't) have unprotected sex, you're still okay.
Now if you miss a dose on saturday then start your off-week, and don't notice till monday because you don't usually take placebos... THAT's when you have a problem.
Not that I ever did that. Last month. Or anything.
