The birth control pill helps keep menstruation regulated and prevents unwanted pregnancy when taken correctly. The correct way to take birth control is starting from the first day of the menstrual cycle and the pills should be taken every day, preferably at the same time.
Contraceptives are sold in packs that can have 21 or 28 tablets. In the 28-pill, the new pack is started the day after the previous one without interruption. Menstruation coincides with the last pills.
In the 21-pill pack, a week-long break should be given for menstruation to occur. The resumption of the new pack should be done on the 8th day.
If the woman forgets to take the contraceptive, the pill can be taken within 12 hours without any problem.
If you are not taking it for two days or more, it is best to discontinue use, wait for your next period and then start a new pack. But the big question among women is whether taking direct contraception is correct.
According to experts, you can mend as many cards as you like without affecting the effectiveness of the contraceptive method. Taking contraceptive without breaks is not bad, but there are risks of bleeding outside the menstrual period that can last for days and disrupt the cycle.

Uninterrupted contraceptive use is unnecessary because if the intention is not to menstruate, there are ongoing progesterone methods and hormonal implants that last up to three years and help stop menstruation.
To start contraceptive use and clarify doubts, you need to seek the advice of a doctor, because for each woman there is an ideal type of pill.
