A member asked:

I am on tri-sprintec and got my period during the 4th week of the pack. should i begin the new pack on the "sunday" or skip to the correct week day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take all pills: You should complete all of the pills in the fourth week of the pack before starting the next one. It is normal to have your period during that week.

What happens if I miss a birth control pill in the 3rd week, take it the next day as soon as I remember, then continue my pack like normal (including the 4th week)? Will that mess with my period? Are there chances of pregnancy?
