Good evening!
What kind of pill are you taking and what week is it?

I'm taking yaz and I'm on my first week.

In this case, it is okay to continue where you are. Taking a larger dose on the same day is not dangerous. There may be more nausea, but since the pills are now fairly low in estrogen, this should not be too significant. Also, you can just keep taking one pill a day, until the package is finished. All active pills have the same strength. Also, since yaz is a pill with 24 active and 4 inactive pills, there is no danger of losing effectiveness by taking 23 days of active pills instead of 24. Have a nice day!
