A member asked:
I am on a 7 day break for my pill and now have a menstruation. is it ok if i take the next pill a bit late from my usual schedule after the 7day break?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not ok: In order for birth control to be effective they need to be taken exactly as directed ---one pill daily. After the 7 days break you restart the next pack regardless of if you are bleeding or not.
