Should I be afraid of pregnancy if instead of taking the 24th active pill I took the 25th inactive tablet? I took the rest of the tables every day with slight deviations of 1-2 hours. (While removing the tablet from the blister, it fell to the ground and fell under the refrigerator) This is my last pack of Slinda pills and I planned not to take them for another few months, but in this case, should I buy and start a new pack if I am afraid of pregnancy?

In such a situation, contraceptive protection may be weakened. An additional method of contraception (e.g. condoms) should be used for 7 days, and if you have had intercourse during an extended break, it is recommended to rule out pregnancy.
What if I started taking tablets from a new pack 5 days after the last active tablet? (on Thursday, when do I usually start a new package)? Then the probability of pregnancy is much higher or just a little higher?

If you started taking the tablets from the new pack one day earlier than normal (4 days after taking the last active tablet), the probability of pregnancy is small.
So what is the probability of pregnancy if I finished taking the tablets from this blister and started a new pack of tablets? Was this the right thing to do in my case? When taking placebo tablets from this blister, bleeding occurred for 4 days (2 days quite heavy and 2 days scanty bleeding). Does this mean that pregnancy is unlikely?

If you do not plan to continue using Slinda tablets, you will still need to use an additional method of contraception (e.g. condoms). Additional protection should be used from the moment the last active tablet is missed.
