Hi,

* Missing one pill does not produce threat for pregnancy, provided you are taking all the pills regularly through out the cycle and you have consumed the missed pill as early as you recognized it.

* The Femilon pill has to be started second pack once the 7 days free period is over.

* You can take for long period of times under medical guidance as there can be liver issues if taken without supervision.

Hope I have answered your query.
