Starting Pack Later - Please Help Asap!
Posted: 01-13-07 21:11pm

Ok, I posted something like this yesterday..But..Which would be better,

-starting a new pack of pills a few days early and skipping the last day of active pills.. (i read somewhere that you need to take at least 21 days of active pills for them to work right?)

or

-starting a new pack two days later than normal (and obviously using another form of protection for a few days)

pelase help!

Either way can cause bleeding problems, that is the problem :/

see, when women plan vacations in advance, ike 2-3 months, it is easier to skip a period like that. Your body needs a few months to actually skip...

You can do either one you want, but you can/will have spotting either way.

If you start a pack late, you must use back-up for 7 full days.
