Will The Contraceptive Still Be Effective If I Stopped Taking Last 4 Pills Of Qlaira And Start Cilest?

I am on Qlaira, currently on day 22 of 28 but i want to skip my period. I am in the process of changing my pill to Cilest but i am waiting untill I finish this month of Qlaira to change. I understand on Qlaira that if you do not wish to have your period you should not take the last 4 pills (2 dark red and 2 white) and start a new pack instead. If I were to not take the last 4 pills and start immediately on Cilest would it still work as contraception or should other contraceptive methods be used? Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
If you use the the new pack form the 1st day, you will definitely have protection, but to be on safe side it is better to follow the other methods, for 7days. from the next mont you can follow the plan as described,on the leaf let.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and
protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
