When I started the pill again I started an
old pack that wasn't out of date. Then I
went through a time when I didn't have a
seven day break. Now I can't remember how
many pills were in the old pack when I
started. I thought there were seven pills
left in the pack so I started a seven day
break, leaving seven pills in the pack.
Shall I just continue to have my seven day
break and will I be protected? :?

Sorry, I don't really understand what
happened. You need to take the pills
exactly how the directions read. I just
switched pills. I had been taking one
kind for the past 9 mos. Then, the days
overlapped with the new pills so I had to
wait until sun to start the new ones.
And now i'm basically starting all over, I
have to use a backup method for a month
until these new pills are fully in my
system.
Don't start pills from an old pack, if you
don't finish them throw them away. If
i'm understanding you, I would say you're
not protected. You need to start fresh
and use a backup method for a month.
Unless you started the pack you're on now
from the beginning, then use a backup
method until your finished this pack.

You should only start full packs, and on
the correct cycle are you saying you
started liek a half pack?
