Missed Pills Week Three, Missed Period. Has Anyone Been Through This?

Updated

I missed two pills in week three this month, August. Missed my period and had light spotting due to the missed pills. I do not take the inactive pills, brown pills, and that has suited me well for the last 9 months. I started my new pack after the fourth week. I am a Sunday starter. The leaflet says to finish the active pills left and start the new pack immediately. I didn't know that then, therefore I did not do that, I started the new pack after week 4. I would like to know if anyone can relate and if they had or missed there period the next month.

Hi, Nana! I'm not sure I quite understand you.

You mean you took the active pills for 3 weeks, took nothing for a week and then started a new pack?

That would be proper procedure, if you don't take the inactive tablets.

I'm not sure why the leaflet says otherwise. What is it in reference to?

I missed 1 pill once and 1 another week. What I suggest to you, not matter whether you take the other pills or not is to have a pregnancy test. It can happen. After I stopped the pill, because I had a blood clot from them, I finished my period on a Thursday. I had intercourse Friday night, because I thought I couldn't get pregnant after my period ended. I was wrong! You can get pregnant anytime, and even the pill is not 100% safe, especially if you skip even one. Good luck to you!
