Hello
Thank you for asking the question.
You are taking microgestin fe as a oral contraceptive pills.
The right procedure for taking pill is start the pill on 5th day of period and continue for 21 day.
Then stop for a week and again start it on 5th day. Whenever you stop the pill withdrawal bleeding occurs.
You do not take pill during the period.set the pill as explained by me.if tablet is of iron other than pill then and then you take it in period. Brown colour indicates which pill is difficult to understand.
Hope this will helpful to you.
