my dr put me on mirette and told me to start it on the 1st day of my next period. well yesterday i guess i was spotting. at the time i thought it was my period bcuz it wasn't real light and it was red and not pink or whatever. but it was like 2 wks early. anyway, i took my 1st pill bcuz i thought it was my period just being irregular. but the flow never increased and it went away (i guess). so now what do i do when my period actually starts? just start w/the next pill in the pack?

Hi Tabatha, welcome!

Yes, start with the next pill on the first day of your period. You will be one pill short and that will change your start day of your next pack because you should not go more than 7 24-hour days without taking active pills to retain you protection.

Good luck
