Bith control: I skipped a week! What to do? Posted: 02-17-07 08:56am
I have been on tri-orevifem for over 3
years now. I have never missed a pill.
For some reason on my new pack of pills I
completely skipped the first week and took
weeks 2 and 3. I didn't realize this
until today. What do I need to do?
Should I start a new pack tommorow and
take week one? Or should I just wait
until I get my period?

If you wait until you get your period, you
will probably get your period a week
earlier and cause cycle irregularity. To
avoid cycle irregularities you can buy
another pack and continue to take the
pills from week-3. After you finish the
week-3 and start the pills from the
week-4, you should get your period. Then,
you can start another pack.
