To delay one week: Take the first pack as you normally would, phases 1,2,3, then take phase 3 from the second pack then take the placebos to have your period and begin a new pack. Save the other 2 phases of active pills for emergencies in case you lose of vomit a pill. Taking two phase 3s back to back keeps the hormone levels in weeks 3 and 4 of your cycle constant which gives you the best chance of avoiding irregular bleeding.
Ok so i'm on phase 3 of the first pack, to delay my period one week, on week 4 i take phase 3 of the second pack, and then week 5 the placebos??? And then i start a new pack after that??

Hi roxanne2020, welcome back!

How do you delay one week if you are on the ring? Is there a way? The doctor had told me that it has one extra day of hormones after the full cycle.
Hi zerlina, welcome!

Thank you so much for the info! I love the ring. This is the second time I've been on it. I was on it for a year and then I stopped. Thought it was making me have a low sex drive. Tried other pills like Yasmin and Ovcon 35 and totally hated them. So just went back to the ring. No side effects except for a really bad headache when I get off of it.
