Late starting my next pill pack...?

**ImogenB** · 09-12-2011 05:31 PM

So last week I was on my break and I should have started my pill again on Sunday. I went away and was planning on going home again by Sunday in time to start my new pill again but some things have come up and I won't be back home 'til the end of the week or possibly next week. (bit of a ramble-sorry) ...what should I do now? Should I wait until my next period or should I start taking it again as soon as I'm reunited with them? Thank you!

I think the general rule in these cases is to wait til you start your next period, but read the pack when you get back. It'll have instructions on what to do if you miss one pill, if you miss two, and if you miss three or more. Follow the three or more instructions.

Make a habit of carrying your pack around with you, especially on trips.

It'll be worth saving your body from some confusion.
