Biotin/bcp's: Biotin, even in the amounts mentioned should not interfere with birth control. Taking oral bcp irregularly, or not taking the active pill after day seven of placebos certainly leave room for ovulation to occur, so be punctual with your oral bc, and start the active pill on day five of the placebos, which works better for protection against pregnancy.
