Question:

I have run out of my birth control Rx and wont get a new pack in time to start again on sunday.?

my new pack will be here next week sometime. can i just start taking the new pack right away or do i have to wait until my next period???

Answers:

You should call your doctor and request a one-time prescription to your local pharmacy. Not taking the pill on time, meaning DIRECTLY after ending your previous pack, increases your risk of pregnancy by a HUGE amount. If you do not get a new pack in time, you must wait until your next cycle and use a backup method of protection just like you were starting all over again.
