Should I Start New Pack Of Microgynon Or Wait For My Pill Free Week?
Im 20 and have been on Microgynon for a year now. For the last few weeks, I have missed one pill at 4 different times in my pack, which has meant that ive taken 2 pills the day after on 4 occasions. I haven't missed 2 consecutive pills at any point. I am about to go on my pill free week, should I start my new pack straight away or wait for my pill free week? Is there a chance I could be pregnant and if so when should I take a test?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
According to your history you missed only one pill at four different time means no decreased in efficacy of pill.
You have to wait for pill free week. No need to take new pack. Start new pack from the next first day of period.
Please take on same time every day and make habit to take pill regularly by putting reminder in the mobile so you will not miss the pill.
There is no chance of pregnancy. But if no period or period delayed by 10-12 days then go for pregnancy test to diagnose pregnancy.
Hope this will help you
Best regards
