You can use them either way as long as you never go more than seven days without taking an active pill.

Taking the pill every other day is most likely going to cause breakthrough bleeding.

Started pill before period and skipped then skipped sugar and skipped pdagain Now have period for a week and you are only 2 weeks into your pills when will it go away did you completely mess up your c?
Hi, When you skip a sugar pill this does not effect your cycle. Skipping a active pill will effect your cycle. Skipping one active pill not only causes your period to arrive earlier but also puts you at risk of pregnancy. Skipping more than one active pill and the risk increases. See your doctor for a bloo test to determine if you've conceived or not. Meanwhile use a condom every time you have intercourse.
