If you missed three or more pills you may want to start a new packet.
It means that if your period is supposed to start on Saturday, 6 days before your missed period would be the Tuesday before.
You have to wait to take it til the Sunday after you start your period so that it can properly regulate your period. This way you are sure to have your period every 28 days.AnswerYou don't, you can start the pill any day of the week. If your period starts on a Monday, start taking the pill then. The only reason for starting on a Sunday is that the packet starts on a Sunday so you start at the beginning of a packet and work through to the end. Many women find this helps them remember and they don't have to go back to the beginning of the packet to take the last few pills. However if you find it easy to remember start at the beginning of your period, then you are protected from pregnancy immediately, just make sure you take all the pills in the packet.
Get back on the pill and use a back up method until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days. If you were more than half way through the packet you were taking skip the inactive pills in the packet and go straight to the active pills in your next packet. If you were still in the first week just start taking the pills as if you had not missed any, but you will still need to use back up BC until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days.
After the first missed period.
No, you should start on your new pact at the end of your period
You shouldn't start worrying until after you miss your period.
It can't it can only make you flow lowere
If you are on the pill you take your whole packet then break for seven days. within this seven days you then come on your period, after seven days you start the next pack regardless of whether you are still on your period, (By the time you need to start your next packet your usually still on your period anyway although this varies for different women) Hope this has answered your question
What you should do (with the OK from your doctor) is to take your BCP the way you have been - but skip the inactive pills and go straight to the new packet. You will skip your period and have it when you finish the second packet.
Break through bleeding is quite common in the first few months, you should continue taking the pills in the packet - after they are gone begin a new packet.
As long as you have not skipped any pills and start the new packet on time, yes the pill is effective every day during and after your period.
