Oralcon Contraceptive Pills Questions

Hey there , im not 100% sure on how oralcon works . Do you just keep taking the white pill until your period starts(even if its more then 21 days) and then move to the red(when it starts) or take the pack accordingly even if your period has not finished or started as yet , i have been taking the white pill for a month and 2 weeks and i still have not started my period, is this because i have not started the red pill even though im not on my period?

Hello, Sandy! How are you?

When you're taking an oral contraceptive, your period is actually a withdrawal bleed, due to not having any hormones that week. So, you take the active tablets for 21 days, then the red for a week, to allow the withdrawal bleed (your period) to occur. Once finished with the red tablets, you go back to taking the white, even if you are still bleeding.

Is there anything else I can help with?
