I just finished my very first pack of minigynon 30 almost three days ago n my period havent started as yet. Im sure im not pregnant because during the past month i was not sexually active any at all...However i want to start a next pack tomor..How long before the pills will be effective and what if my period should start tomorrow, would it b ok for me to still start the next pack or should i wait until after my bleeding
Hi, Even if your period starts, you can still continue with the next pack starting on the 8th day after completion of the previous pack. If you have not vomited or had any diarrhea and if you did not miss any of the doses, it is very unlikely that you are pregnant. Yet, since this is your first cycle and hence additional contraception is always advised, you can exclude pregnancy through a blood test before going on with your second pack. The pills are usually effective after 7 days of continuous intake at least. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
