I have been taking the birth control pill for 6 months. I finish a pack on Thursday and take a pill the following Thursday. Is the pill already working?

Hello, If I understand correctly, your question is: is my contraceptive pill effective from the first pill after having stopped for 7 days to allow menstruation?
Alexandre Chagnon · 8 years ago
The answer is yes, but only if you take your pill at the maximum after 7 days off. In other words, in your example, you should not take your pill again on Friday, as this would result in a break of more than 7 days and could cause ovulation and thus compromise contraception for the upcoming cycle.
