A member asked:
If my period doesn't last seven days should i start the active pills early?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you look at your pill pack, you have three weeks of active pills and one week of inactive pills. That is when your period should occur. You start the next pack of active pills when you are scheduled to do so. It makes no difference how long your period lasted. If you're supposed to start it on sun., it makes no difference if you stopped your period on tues. Or thurs. Or sat.-you still start sun.
