Hi diya2005, welcome!

I think you should be ok. You should continue taking your pills on schedule and use back-up for the entire first pack while you learn to take your pills correctly. That way if you forget and are late or miss a pill it's not a problem. Since you are new to the pill you might want to read the posts in our FAQs about common pill side effects ands taking your pills correctly.

Thanks for posting. Please ask if you have more questions. Let us know how you like your pill and how you're doing.

Good luck,

      Jill
