Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Msgic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.

The week following the 21 pills is safe period. As long as you have taken the pills correctly and started the new pack on time, there is no possibility of pregnancy with sex during this time. So don't worry.

During the pill free week period bleeding can start anytime between 2nd-7th day. Pills cause the periods to be lighter and of shorter duration. This is normal.

I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, contact me through Healthcare Magic.

Best wishes,
Dr Rama
