Question: Hi doctor thank you for your response. Sorry again for the late reply. Ok that's fine. Thanks for always being there to answer my questions. And thanks for the wishes.

Regarding taking the pill additionally, what is the maximum that I can take additional from another pack? Is it okay to take it to 30 days or is that too much?

Brief Answer:
Yes can be taken safely

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, how are you doing?
Sorry for the delay as I was busy in some emergency.
Yes you can take it for 30 days surplus with no side effects except a little of mood swings and breast tenderness and that too occurs in few patients.
But in case you get spotting in between though less than 1% chances then stop the pills and let periods come in full swing.
Take care

Hi doctor yes XXXXX I am doing well! And I hope you are fine too. Ok thank you for the advice. I have noticed I am getting a lot of mood swings and getting very emotional. So it is okay if I take the pill for 30-31 days? I just prefer coming on period when I'm back home, but if there's a side effect to it I can leave it earlier.

I have a problem last night I fell asleep and I forgot to take the pill. What do I do? I take it everyday at night around 10-11.
Last time it happend I took it in the morning then took again at night, as I was panicked. What's the best thing to do? Shd I not have it in the morning and just have it at night? Or both?

Thank you
Sorry for the trouble

Brief Answer:
Take the pill now itself

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxx I understand your problem as one is you preoccupied just after marriage and in honeymoon period.
Take the pill now only and next as per schedule at night today and thereafter.
Mood swings are very common in initial few months on pill specially in last days.
Taking pill at night decreases the side effects a lot.
Continue as desired and you will be habituated to the effects.
Take care and enjoy yourselves..
