Question about 21 pills

[Michelia]

Hi

I want to ask one question related to pills. I am a newbie who is taking birth control pills. I am on 21 pills for two months. So I have taken nearly 42 pills till now. I skipped one menstrual cycle. So after these two 21 pills, I need to wait 7 days for menstruation. Can I get pregnant in that 7 days before starting the next 21 pills? or if I dont have menstruation in that 7 days, what should I do?

So you ran the first two packs together , and didn't have a bleed. That's absolutely fine. You only need a bleed once every 3 months. If you wish to have a bleed now, when you finish your 21 pills, you will have a pill free week, when you may bleed. You are still protected for those seven days. If you don't bleed, don't worry ( so long as there was no pregnancy risk when you started the pills ). Just start your next strip after the 7 days.
