I am taking the pill as of now. I have been taking it for maybe 5 months now. I have just finished the placebo pill week and didn t get my birth control untill today, a monday. I have skipped sunday. Should I wait a week to start the new pack or take sunday and monday right now?
Hi, Thanks for the query. Taking one day gap between pill packs may not lead to major difference in hormonal effect. As you are taking the pills for 5 months, hormones might have been in lower levels. So, one day delay in starting the pack may not lead to major fluctuations. You can start the today. And after using for three weeks, one week is gap as you know. After one week you can start new pack. If you use the contraceptive pills as per the guidelines, the protection rate will be high.
