Taking placebo pills earlier...
| Mon, 08-14-2006 - 4:57pm |
I was just reading a reply to a message where someone indicated that if the placebo pills are taken one week early, the person wouldn't be protected during the placebo week. I would like to know why that is so and where that information came from, if possible. As far as I am aware, the 21 day length was selected fairly arbitrarily and it could be longer or shorter (as long as not shorter than 7 days). As far as I know, one is protected after having taken the pill for 7 consecutive days.
