3 pills left in my pill pack, do I start a new pack?!


Question: 3 pills left in my pill pack, do I start a new pack?
Im on Marvelon birth control and I have noticed that there a pills for 28 days. 17 days normal pill taking, the last week has 7 days circled called the reminder pills and then I have 3 pills left????

Do I take them or discard them? According to my leaflet it says take pills for 21 days and 7 days of reminder pill and start new pack??

What about the other 3 pills left??

Answers:

The last 7 "reminder pills" are when you should get your period. Just finish off this pack, and start a new pack when this one runs out.



Take the 7 reminder pills until they run out. You should get your period during this time. After that start a new pack. It's never good to waste the hormones because your body has already gotten used to that schedule.



Yes you can.
