This is just a guess but I imagine that you will just be a day later than planned for everything. When I had my cycles I was on the pill for a random number of days each time as it is their way of taking control of your cycle. Don’t think it will make a difference at all. Good luck with everything x

No problem. I think I was on it 26 days my first cycle and then 29 the second so not the recommended 21. It was to fit in my treatment with their appointment times. Hope it all goes well x

MrsAb27. Don’t worry, your bleed will happen still, then let the clinic know. Good luck! Diane
