I started taking the pill last summer, and was fine. I then went to uni and didnt renew my prescription so stopped taking it for a few months, but didnt have sex so not any chance i could be pregnant. I had one packed (a full 28days of normal pills, my pack does not include sugas pill) left of cilest and started taking the pills about 2 weeks ago, i started taking the pills from the first dat after i came off, not realising i should have beent taking it from the first day i came on my period, i then realised and stopped taking them after taking the pills only for 4 days, but came back on , so i had two period of 5 days bleeding in the space of 2 weeks, so when will i come on next, as normal like i should, or have i messed up my cycle? I have been to the doctors in the mean time and got 6 months of the cilest pill which i took before, if i start taking it from the first day i come on my period next and carry on taking it fpr 28 days , could i not take a 7 day break to stop my period because i go on holiday the week im due to come on my period, which will be the following 28 days after i start taking the first day off pill, or not because it will be the first month iv taken the pill in a long time, and will i get break through bleeding? because if i will ill just take the pill you take 3 times a day to stop my period because it wont be nice in a bikini, thank you
