I lost the last 5 of my jolivette pills. should i just start a new pack, or take the last five out of the next pack, throw that, then start anew?

Progestin only BCP: Jolivette is a brand of norethindrone, a progestin-only birth control pill. All 28 pills in each pack contain norethindrone. In other words, there are no placebo or sugar pills. Therefore, there is also no withdrawal bleeding as with standard combination estradiol-progestin bcps. I'd suggest just starting your next pack immediately. If you've missed a day or more, use condoms, too, as back up.
