Take your pills!: If you did a pregnancy test and it was negative, then I recommend you start your pills. Best wishes.

If you know you are: Not pregnant for sure you should always take your pills on schedule even if you don't have a period. In some pills after a while you don't make much of a lining to she's and won't have a period or just brown or light discharge . By not stArting the min time you are risking Ineffectiveness of the next pack because you were unprotected . Please start your pills but treat it like starting over
