i'm in quite a dilemma. You see, I am
currently on this brand of bcp of 21 days,
however, i've lost one pill, so i'm stuck
with 20 pills, and do not have any current
supply of the current bcp i'm taking.
However, i'm thinking of switching to
brand b of birth control pills, and i'm
not sure when to take the new batch of
this new brand. My 21 pills usually end
on wednesday, and I would allow 7 days for
my period to come, and I would continue on
on the following thursday.
Do i, just eat the 20 pills until
wednesday, and stop for 8 days instead of
7 days, and continue with a new brand of
birth control pills on the following
thursday? Or do I start counting from
wednesday (with only taking in 20 pills
instead of 21), and then start a new brand
of birth control pills on the following
tuesday?
What do I do? Please advise.

I would take the current pills till
they're gone. Then, let your period come,
and the day after you stop (or the next
wednesday, if you want) start the new
pills.
