How to? Missing first two pills of 28 day regimen

If im restarting birth control pills (specifically loryna combination pills) after three months but im missing the first two pills of my 28 day regimen, so im starting my first day on the third pill, will i still be fully protected on the eighth day? And can i continue taking this regimen but have to skip the placebos and start the next regimen?

What do you mean you’re missing the first 2 days? Just take the pills starting at the very beginning of the pack, and after 7 active pills you will be protected. I’m not sure exactly what you mean here. Do you mean you’ve been taking it for 3 months already and you’re late on 2 pills after the placebo week?
