I am new to the pill. How important is the time and the pause when on the period?
Hi,
I am new to the pill and am taking Diane 35. I have a few question that I hope you can help me out with:
1) How much can I deviate from the daily time I take the pill. Is plus/minus a few hours still ok? What is the maximum that is acceptable?
2) After taking the pill for 21 days, then I stop taking it, and wait for my period. If let's say my period is over after 5 days, can I start with the next pack already? Or do I *have to* pause for exact 7 days?
3) What should I do if on the 7th day after finishing a pack my period is not completely over, yet?
4) Can I have sex in the 7 "pause" days between the packs? Will there be the same contraceptive protection?
5) Assuming I become pregnant (for whatever reason). How soon will I notice that it happened? Will I still get my period in the 7 day pause of taking the pill? When will the period stop, or will it not stop when taking the pill even though there is a pregnancy?
Thank you : )
