Should I carry on with the pill this month?
I take Microgynon 30, I completely forgot to have my 7 day break after a packet and immediately started the second one. I've only taken 3 from the packet so far before I realised and I'm not sure if I should carry on.
I want to stop taking the pills and have my period and then carry on with the packet next week and finish the packet, but it's my last one. If I stop now and have my period in the next few days will I be able to take the next 18 pills from this packet and then have another period after that or will I have to get a new box and take 3 pills from a new packet to get the full 21 days? Or would it be better just to carry on with this packet through to the end (although I'd rather not)

take your break now, it's not fun to be paranoid waiting for a period. The only reason why you get 21 pills in a pack and a 7 day break is because it gives you a 28 day cycle, which I suppose is the average cycle, and being 4 weeks, is easy to keep track of.
You'll be able to have your 7 day break, then take the next 18 pills, then go on your next break. The only side effect I can think of would be a slightly lighter period.
