After taking the 7 day break from the combined pill and then starting a new pack, can I start taking the pills at a different time to what I originally did??
For example at the moment I take them in the evening, now I am on my 7 day gap period. When I start my new pack can I start taking them in the morning everyday?

Hiya, do you go to bed at a more regular time than you wake up? Personally, if I schedule my pill time at night, I will take it between 10 and 12. If it's in the morning...can be anytime from 7 til 11...
Also, a 7 day break isn't necessary nowadays, depending on your pill. 3/4 day break can be better to reduce the sudden drop in oestrogen. Ask your doctor xx
You can actually "cycle" the pill and take it for 9 weeks constantly , with a bleed after that. But some women may get breakthrough bleeding with this method .
