What if i skip my pills for five days and my period will come, what should i do?do i still need to conrinue to take my pills?

New pack: Begin a new monthly pack of pills and either avoid intercourse for 2 weeks or take additional precautions, such as condoms, for two weeks. You will probably be ok and not get pregnant. If you are having problems remembering the pill, you should consider other bc methods such as an iud, depop or nuvaring.

Just start a new package.: You are not really having a period. Your having a withdrawal bleed. Missing all those pills just really massed with your hormones and your body. I would make sure using other form of contraception for the next month as well as your pills.
