I guess I'll wait til I use up the old packs as not to take a chance at the beach...

Will the pill still be effective if there is break-through bleeding?

If after the first three cycles and there is, then I stop for period then go back on pill what if like a week later break through bleeding again... do I stop for period again?

wow glad I asked! Thank you again for explaining everything to me.

One more- what if I don't stop and just continue for the 12weeks even if there is btb after the first 12 weeks, etc.? Like not stop when she said and just continue but only stop after every 12weeks

Thank you so much for being so helpful!
I think I understand now. What if though some how I get mixed up-- will I still be protected as long as I take 7 active pills or even one pill in a row after I stop for a few days if btb occurs?
