A member asked:

I started diane 35 1 month ago. 1 week after placebo pills, no bleeding. no risk of being pregnant. is something wrong or should i start next pack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should always start: packs on schedule, regardless of period flow or none. Delaying starting pills causes a delay in getting effective contraception during the current pack. Take each pack on time and on schedule, for best effect.

Started taking Diane 35 on Monday, the first day of my period, but I realised it was in the wrong section, active instead of placebo. Should I take the placebo I should have been on today or ditch it all and start a new pack with my next period?
