Lo Loestrin Fe White

This morning when I meant to take my third blue pill in the pack, it was i couldn't see so I accidentally had my pack upside down and instead took the second white pill that i should take at the end of the pack. When i realized what i did i took the correct blue pill immediately, but now i will only have one white pill when the time comes to take it at the end of the month. Is it okay to take only one white pill and then have three days of placebo, one where i just don't take any pill? Or is it okay to skip the last 4 pills altogether and just start my new pack right after my last blue one? Which option will not decrease the effectiveness of the pill?

Hello, Anna! How are you? Sorry about what happened.

If your doctor approves, you should be able to do whichever option works for you. There are hormones in the white ones, so it might be better to start a new pack, to keep yourself protected from pregnancy, but only your doctor can tell you which would be the best option.

According to the Lo Loestrin FE site, side effects to oral contraceptives may include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain and PMS like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?
