A member asked:
I take seasonale. instead of the whole pack, i stopped after 60 days to have my period. i started the new pack the next sunday. do i need back up?

No: Even taking the 60 days and then the week break and restarting you will be covered as long as didn't miss pills or anything. There is no magic to the 12 weeks for the seasonale. Can really take the break at any point.
