Effective?

So i am going to finish my latest pack of loestrin 24 fe and i wanted to delay my next month's period by a week. Would waiting a exactly a week after my regular start date, to start my next pack be okay? if so, would i have to use back up protection the whole month or just until a week after using active pills?

You would just need a back up form of contraception for the first week of taking active pills..

Alternatively, if you can pick up an extra pack of pills, rather than skipping a week, you could just continue taking active pills and skip the inactive ones that would induce your menstrual cycle.

Have you discussed your options with your doctor?
