The Pill - New pack on 2nd day of period?
Dear Doc
I have been on Ginette for a year. I was wondering if it is possible to take a pill from a new pack on the 1st day of my period.
The last pill I drank was on Friday. Saturday through to Friday are all white pills. My period started today (Monday) Can I now start with the new pack tomorrow although I have already started my period? Or is it better to leave my period for the whole 5 days?

I take it that you took the last active pill on Friday. You should then start the next packet on this Saturday.
