I am on qlaira and would like to know which tablets i should skip in order for me to skip my period safely? some articles say to skip 26-28, and start again on day 3, others say start again on day 1. there's a lot of conflicting theories?

Take all 28 pills.: Oral contraceptives should be used only as directed. It is important to take all 28 pills.
