A member asked:
After a week gap from last contraceptives/pill (2days after my period) can i continue with the new set or must wait till 1st day of my period again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Continue now: You can start a new pack today and take as usual. While many gyn's feel it is best to start a pack on day 1, it is certainly ok to start it a few days later. Good luck.
