How Should Femilon Be Taken?

I took Femilon for the first time. I didn't miss any of the days and have now taken all 21 tablets. But I feel I have not started it properly. I took my first tablet on the first day of the period. But I didn't check the day as in whether it was a tuesday, friday etc. Took the first Monday tablet and then continued all 21 tablets? What should I do now? Should I wait for my next period and start it properly? Thanks in advance

Hi,
If you are using the 21-pill pack, please wait for 7 days after the last pill and continue using the next pack after seven days, i.e., after day 28. This may not necessarily conform to the days of the week mentioned on the strip. If, you have any difficulty calculating, you can start the pack from any nearest Sunday from your period and go on. This should fall within a couple of days of your period preferably. Remember to use additional protection during the first two cycles. Hope this helps.
