Q. Took placebo a week before my first mini-pill. Will it work?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• The idea is if you are switching from combined pills then during the placebo week you should be getting a withdrawal bleed. It shall indicate the start of a fresh cycle and then from day 2 of your cycle you can easily start your mini-pill pack (Progesterone pills).

• If you have done so, then there is no need of any backup. Just, continue the mini-pill pack.,

• If menses have not occurred and you started pill earlier, then still backup would not be required, but you may experience menses only after end of the mini-pill pack.

• Importantly, you should know that these pills have to be taken on time as you may easily experience intermenstrual spotting if next pill intake is delayed.
