Pill question

    I came off the pill a few weeks ago, finishing up a pack as normal but didn't start a new pack. I want to go back on it this month. Basically, I finished last pack on 30th April, then the usual 7 day break and should have started a new pack on the following Saturday, 8th May, which I didn't. My question is, given that I'm only off it a short while, what day do I start takin it again? The day I would have started the new pack or the first day of my period?

    Give your doctor a call and ask them.

    ask your doctor or pharmacist, or read the leaflet that came with it

    The first day of your next period and use another contraceptive method until then (condoms). Phone your GP or pharmacist to double check though.

    How long were you actually off it?? Just a few days or.....?
    I would think the first day of your next period, and use condoms for the first week.....

    I'll be off it 32 days the day of my next period which includes the seven day break from last pack and what should have been seven day break from this, had I continued it this month.

    I've read alot about some people getting withdrawel bleed which I did, but then not getting a period for a few months.

    I was on it for 2 years.

    Suppose I'll just wait and see and give doc a buzz.
