The prolonged pill is just like the normal 28 day programme, exept you don't have breaks in your pills of placebo pills, and so your hormone levels will not drop and induce a withdrawal bleed!
There should be no ovulation provided the pills are working correctly and you take them right! In women who take the pills every day at the same time, without being late or skipping pills, ovulation is prevented in 98-99% of cycles.
It's just basically the same as skipping the placebo weeks. there is no real difference in how the pill works. You should be very protected from pregnancy.
If you want to be extra safe, use a second method of contraception such as a condom or other barrier if you feel you may be ovulating, although I am not sure which days this would be i am afraid! you might want to try monitoring for ovulation though, there are telltale signs, pains, thickening of cervical mucus, a rise in basal body temperature etc that indicate ovulation is to occur. |
