Question about the pill

Hi ladies

sorry about this boring question but I made a mess with my pill. So I normally do 4 day breaks and was due to begin my break on Wednesday but decided to postpone my period so I started a new pack. However on the next day Thursday I thought let me actually have my break.
today Friday evening I decided I don’t want my period to come now so I took 2 pills as if yesterday’s was a missed one although it wasn’t a missed pill it was a “one day break”. I’m so confused what happens now. I also feel like my period is about to come. I hope not!
anyway, what does this mean now that I took one day break? I should just finish the new pack regardless of whether my period still comes? Or can I do a break in 1-2 weeks time since I only skipped one pill and wasn’t a proper break.

so confused! Also is it bad for my body that I did this? Thanks so much!

Its fine to take the pill packs back to back.

As you haven’t essentially missed a pill you are still protected as long as you aren’t taking the following brands.

ELOINE 0.02 mg / 3 mg film coated tablets - Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) - (emc)

ELOINE 0.02 mg / 3 mg film coated tablets - Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) by Bayer plc

Thank you but it’s not a missed pill. It was when it was supposed to be my break so it’s like 1 day break. So do I treat it as a break or as a missed pill?
im not worried about pregnancy I’m not even sexually active now so it’s not about that

just more about when I’m supposed to have a break now. Do I have to wait for the whole pack or I can take a break earlier since this was just one day break and not a proper 4-7 day one?

and also will my period still come now, which I don’t want as this was the whole reason I decided to start it again after just one day break

the websites says anywhere in the pack within 24 hours is ok

Well I took a break for a day and a half meaning the second pill was taken over 24 hours at 11pm instead of at 9am
so it’s like 2 days then

again I’m not worried if I’m protected the point is if to treat this as a break or as missed pills. Do I take a break after a finish the pack or can I do my regular 4 day break before that since this was too short.
