A member asked:

I went off my birth control for a month. i am not pregnant, but haven't gotten my period (it's day 30)can i still take my new pack sunday as planned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would wait: Until you get a period and then start either the first day of your period, or the Sunday during that period. If you don't get a period soon, check a pregnancy test to be sure.
