Hello, I would like to get advice on a matter that bothers me. I took the last packet of anti-pills in the morning 7-10. I finished the packaging on Monday (5.11.2012) and took a 7-day break. I took the next package (the first tablet from it) after a 7-day break (that is, on the 8th day of November 13, 2012), but at 22.00. I took the next tablets regularly around 10 p.m. I simply changed the time of taking the package to a more convenient one. Could I do that? Does the maximum delay of 12 hours also count when starting a new packaging? And if so, are they counted for which tablet, the last one from the previous strip? On November 17, 2012 I had unprotected intercourse was the contraception kept? It is written everywhere that if something should be used for additional 7 days security, why just 7? In my case, if contraception was not respected, it would be 5 days. Regards and I am asking for answers.
Yes, you should use extra security.
