Do not stop: It depends on whether you have a 21-day or 28-day pack. In either case, you should finish the pack that you have. If it is 21 days, then wait 7 days after 1 pack before beginning the next one. If it is a 28 day pack, you never stop. (the pills during your period are placebo). Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review the exact pills that you have. Ovulation is about 14 days after your period starts.
