Hi. Ive missed two pills in a row in the first week. I am on mercilon and started on Monday. I forgot to take one on Thursday and had sex that evening. I forgot on Friday too. On Saturday morning I had sex and then in the afternoon I remembered so I took fridays pill then and saturdays pill Saturday evening. Am I in the danger zone?

It is entirely possible. You should call your doctor and see if you can get emergency contraception if it is not too late. Taking the pill at the same time everyday is extremely important - set an alarm on your cellphone so you remember to take it, or consider switching to nuva-ring so you won't have to remember to take a pill everyday. Some side effects of not taking your birth control regularly (besides the obvious - pregnancy) are spotting, irregular bleeding, pregnancy, nausea, and breast tenderness. For now, until your birth control is regulated, be smart, use condoms.
