And obviousley you are ment to have a period after the last pill in the pack, well i have only just started my period again and i think i should have started it before. is this normal. So basically i am going to take my first pill of the new pack but not sure if it is the 6, 7 or 8 days i have left it.

Different types of BC pills are packaged differently. I am unfamiliar with ones that have arrows. I would urge you to ask your physician who prescribed them, or the pharmacist. For the most part, BC pills have 3 rows (21 days) of active tablets, and 1 row (7 days) of placebo tablets. During the placebo row is when you would normally have your menses. You would normally start taking your active tablets in the first 7 days of your cycle. The cycle starts with the first day of your flow (and ends with the nextmenses first day of flow) and is usually 28 days total.

Firstly- anyone at any clinic can give you free advice-even over the phone with a doctor,you wont even need to say whom you are,this would be strictly private.
Dont sleep with your partner or anyone 1stly untill you get on track again,and hey not judge yourself everyone in life does something-noone out here is perfect,blessyou.
Contact your nearest clinic or doctor and ask them whats the best thing to do and explain whats happned-im sure hun youll find the help you require.
Also yes if youve missed or taken extra even then your period can be changed so easily,id not worry too much about this,but i would say try get the right person to talk to to make sure you get back into the right routine with your tablets-just be smart and not sleep with anyone untill you know again your safe.Hope all goes well.Take Care-and im not thinking how can someone be so mad to mess this up-ive done worse-believe me lol.x

Always read the instructions on the pack Otherwise you could end up like the woman who having been prescribed the pill, went to her doctor some months later and was told she was pregnant. On querying her, the doctor was told, I am taking the pill, but the bloody thing keeps falling out. Ouch.

I would say from what you have said that maybe you should just take the next pill in the pack. And go from there.

stop taking the pill until you can go back to your family planning clinic, and get some advice??
Although for someone as forgetful as you, you might be better off with the injection - you only need to have it once a year!!

Well, be sure to go to your doctor and ask him/her if there is a surgery you can have. If not, you will probably die!!!!
