If I Skip The First Week Of My Elinest Birth
Question: If I skip the first week of my elinest birth control pill but abstain from sex that week and continue on with the pills regularly, do i replace the placebo pills with the first week pills? Although i had unprotected sex the second week of the pills
Brief Answer:
You can't take them.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
You don't have to substitute the placebo pills with first week pills it is not recommended.
You had to start the package the first day of the cycle otherwise the protection is not complete and the risk of pregnancy is increased.
Continue with placebo pills as usual.
Hope I have answered the question.
