A member asked:
Only have 4 days left of active pills. should i skip my sugar pills and just start a new pack to keep it in my system?

No finish the pack: Even though you can skip the last 4 pills and wait for four days to start the new pack.But it is a good idea to be in habit of finishing the pack and starting the new pack because some times you may forget when you are supposed to start a new pack.
