Hi girls, I stopped taking my pill last Wednesday for my tricycle week and currently having my period, which is very painful and I feel like dog poo, can I start taking my pill now instead of Wednesday ???

Hi Sheri26, I belive once you have stopped, restarting pill won't make any real difference, it pushes periods back but doesn't stop them earlier. When I was on the combined pill I developed 15 day periods so was starting taking my pill again whilst still on and it made no difference to my pain. I think either way you'll have to ride it out.
