A member asked:
Should i be taking the pill the day after the 7 day period of rest or when my period stops? 21days of pill 7 resting , period comes on day3 ends day 5

How to take pills: You should take the pills at about the same time every day for 21 days. Then no pills for 7 days. Then start the new pill pack the next day for 21 days. Then you just repeat the previous cycle. Remember to take pills at about the same time and Try not to miss a pill. If you miss 1 pill take it as soon as you remember and you should be safe from getting pregnant. I hope this helps.
