Yes, if you took four pills at once for emergency contraception, you should continue taking one pill per day until the pack is done. Then start the new cycle of Birth Control.
Continue with the same pack.
Break through bleeding is quite common in the first few months, you should continue taking the pills in the packet - after they are gone begin a new packet.
Yes take a pill once every day at the same time. Even if your period starts before you get to the end of the pill pack. This is normal. Do not stop taking your pills or you could get pregnant.
Yes, every pill in Micronor is exactly the same. The dosages are the same, and there are no sugar or placebo pills in the pack.
In general the answer is yes... it would be ideal if the pack of pills is one of the "mono-phasic" types meaning all of the active pills are the same dosage. all of the active pills will have the same shape and color in a monophasic pack. Just try to get a new prescription in time to take a full 21 days of pills without missing any for the best results. also make sure the pills have not expired or may not be as effective.
When you finish your pack of 21 pills you wait eight days and then start taking your pills again. Example if you started taking your pills on a Monday you should always start a new pack on that same day every time.
During the last week of your pills you are taking placebo pills. There are no hormones in placebo pills that have hormones to protect you from pregnancy. However, if you have been properly taking your birth control every day at the same time, during this week you will start your menstrual cycle, and you will still be protected from pregnancy. All you have to do is finish all the pills in the pack, each month. Also, you do not have to take the placebo pills because there aren't any hormones in them. You must however, not get off track starting your birth control, you must start your new pack of pills the same way you began taking the birth control.
You can delay your period by not taking a break between the packs of pills. To do this you must take your birth control everyday and at the same time everyday. By doing this you have 99.9% protection from pregnancy. When you get to the day that you would begin your placebo pills, you must begin your new pack of active pills at the same time you have been taking your birth control. By skipping the placebo pills and starting your new pack of active pills, this will delay your menstrual cycle from starting that month.
Birth controls come in packs of 21 or packs of 28. Packs of 21 have the 3 weeks of the evenly spread hormones which you take around the same time everyday. On your fourth week you DO NOT take ANY birth control and your period should come sometime around that. For packs of 28 (the pack I have) the fourth week is just sugar pills to remind you that you must take the pills everyday. If you have the pack of 28 your period should come around the 2nd or 3rd day you start taking the sugar pills.
If you were making up for a missed pill, consider using a back up method of birth control for the next seven days. If you did it by accident, continue taking one pill per day. You will finish your active pills a day earlier than scheduled. Start the next pack a day earlier than originally scheduled so that your placebo week is no longer than seven days.
Yes. Missing this many pills makes the pack inactive and you unprotected. The pill works best when taken at the SAME time EVERYDAY! If you miss a pill take as soon as you remember and then take your next pill as recommended even if this means you take two pills in one day. If you miss more than 3 pills in a pack the pack is considered inactive and you need to use a back up method. You can stop using the back up after you've taken the first 7 pills of the new pack.
Yes you should continue your pack of pills even though you are spotting. You should never discontinue taking your birth control unless advised by your physician. If you stop taking your birth control you will lower the effectiveness of the birth control drastically and you will increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Spotting is a side effect caused by birth control. Spotting typically occurs when you are either starting birth control for the first time( spotting may last up to 3 months), spotting can occur if you do not take your birth control everyday at the same time, and it can occur if you use a certain medication, such as antibiotics.
