If you miss 1 pill you are supposed to take 2 the next day.

It should say on the leaflet in the packet what to do if you miss one. The idea of the pill is to keep your hormone levels steady (depending which preparation you're on) at an amount that stops ovulation. If you miss one, and then take it the next day (along with the one you're supposed to take the next day) it can cause a surge in hormones which may be enough to trigger ovulation... Ask your doctor or pharmacist. It also depends whether you're taking the combined or progestergen-only pill.
