Hi,

In this way, your contraception is breached and unprotected sex can cause pregnancy.
There are 3 ways to take them...


First...
Have a period each month.

Take the 21 hormone pills and then the seven non-hormone pills. You will get your period while you are taking the seven non-hormone pills. It may be lighter and less crampy than your regular period. You will not be protected from pregnancy if you forget more than one pill in a week.

Second....
Have a period every few months
Miss the seven non-hormone pills most months and take the hormone pills continuously, every day. Take the seven non-hormone pills when you want to have a period.

Third...
No periods option.

Take the hormone pills continuously, every day. Take the 21 hormone pills and then start a new packet, missing the seven non-hormone pills. This means you won’t get your period.

With this option, you are protected from pregnancy unless you forget more than eight pills in a row which is very unlikely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
