Actually you are supposed to start the pill pack on the Sunday following your period. SO You would wait a week after you finish the pill pack on a Sunday and then resume the following Sunday. Usually your period starts 4 days or so after you took your last pill. It will matter if it is the 9th day...so just use contraceptive to be on the safe side. They used to include pills to take that were "sugar pills" or "inert" ingredients so that you take a pill everyday and never skip. It was easier to remember. Good luck.
what is bcp
you should ask for the 28 pack of these pills.
also it's 7 days not 8 days when you start a new pack.
go ask health people they will put you on the right track
