Hello,
If you have been on the Trigestrel pill for at least 2 weeks after the missed pill, then you are protected. Otherwise, you will need to take emergency contraceptive like I-ill, plan B etc. Taking the white pill from the Trigestrel packet will not act as an emergency contraceptive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
