change start date for pill?
| Wed, 10-13-2004 - 2:37pm |
i want to change my start date for my birth control pill. i'm a sunday starter right now, and i'm just going to push it back a day to saturday. should i just start taking it on saturday as i finish my current pack? (as in, not taking the last placebo pill and starting the next pack on saturday.) if i do that, do i have to use a back up method for 7 days or a month or whatever?
thanks!

Yes, you can shorten your placebo week without having to use back-up so if you start your new pack on Saturday you will be fine. You just can't go MORE than 7 24-hour hormone free days with out loosing your protection. Thanks for posting.
Good luck,
