I took two birth control pills for three days (1,2,3 tablet from the blister) then one day I took one pill and for the next three days I took two contraceptive pills again (5,6,7 tablet from the blister). The next tablets are already normally one at a time. Will taking two birth control pills for six days negatively affect the effectiveness of contraception? Now I know that I should not take a double dose only by passing. Atywia Daily. Please reply.

Taking additional pills does not affect the effectiveness of contraception, but it can cause side effects such as pain and dizziness, abdominal pain, malaise or spotting.

To @Xxxxxx: I would recommend taking a tablet from a spare blister (any pink tablet) so that you do not forget later and stop taking active tablets the day before.
Good morning, I take washing tablets, unfortunately today I took two tablets - one for today, the other for tomorrow - in this case, tomorrow just take another tablet from the blister (the day after tomorrow) or is it better to take a tablet from the spare blister that falls on tomorrow?

To @Anon: Yes, in this case you should start taking the tablets from the next pack the day before usual.
Good morning, takes yasmin birth control pills. It seemed to me that I missed one dose of the drug, so when taking the due dose I took a double dose. After the second recalculation, it turned out that I took a dose one too many. I will run out of the dose on the last day of taking the blister before stopping for a week. Should I start the new packaging the day before than before?

A higher dose of hormones may increase the risk of side effects, including midcyclic bleeding and spotting, which can be perceived as "dysregulation", but as I wrote below, it does not weaken the effectiveness of the tablets.
A higher dose of hormones will not deregulate the cycle and will not affect the effectiveness of contraception?

Side effects may or may not occur. The body does not "get used to" a higher dose of hormones and this does not affect the effectiveness of the tablets, so there is no need to use additional methods of contraception. However, it is not recommended to take double doses of hormones unjustifiably, because in the long term it may increase the risk of health-threatening side effects, such as thrombosis.
I did not experience any side effects. So there is no reason to worry? The body will not get used to a larger dose of the hormone? Will it not disturb the work of the body / circus? Is it necessary to use an additional method of contraception?

In the same way and without changes, even several times taking a double dose of hormones does not affect the effectiveness of contraception, but significantly increases the risk of side effects.
If a similar situation occurred in the next cycle with a tablet (1.2) and I again took two tablets in one day for two days, does it affect the effectiveness of contraception? Bearing in mind the situation described above in the main question, where in the previous cycle I took 6 more. Please reply.

Yes, even taking a double dose of hormones several times does not affect the effectiveness of contraception, but it increases the risk of side effects much more.
Even if the intake of an additional tablet occurred several times?
