Still Confused.
Posted: 09-07-04 04:02am

So if I was going to change my start date so that it was 2 days earlier.. Since I start my new package on tuesday, would I just skip two of my inactive pills? And start a new package on sunday? And if I do this, I am still covered protection wise? So many questions >.< someone please help me clarify

Exactly.. Start your active pills 2 days early. You will be protected. If you were to go two days after, I would say use a backup method for a week or two since you are in fact "missing" two days. However taking it sooner you will not "miss" any pills.

Thanks... Do u think it would be safer to only put it back one day a month? Or does it not really matter that much

I've done 2 days before and had no problems, but it depends on what you are comfortable with.
