Hi doctor, I am using ocp for last 4-5 months. In my last cycle I took active pills for 22 days. But took two ocps each day from day19 to day 22. Along with this took an i-pill on day18 of ocp cycle. On 5th day of pill free break got withdrawal bleeding. I want to know when to start the next pack to remain protected without requiring any backup method? Can I start after 7 day of last pill or day3 of withdrawal bleed or day2 of withdrawal bleed? Please let me know if day 2 start and day 3 start are same or not. If in any cycle, I take active pills for 22 or 23 days to delay withdrawal bleed a little, then take a break and start next pack on 2nd or 3rd day of withdrawal bleed, is it fine? Thank you in advance.
