A member asked:
I want to wait an extra week before starting my new pack of birth control pills (2 weeks before starting active pill) not worried about pregnancy. ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control pills: If you wait "another week before starting" a new pack of bcp's, you may ovulate even while taking the "new pack", therefore you may become pregnant in that next cycle of bcp's . It is best if sexual activity may occur to NOT take any more than seven days between active pills.
