    Is there anything preventing you from finishing the packet? Just to finish it seeing as you have a course left? Might be worth phoning NHS direct. I should think you could stop near enough straight away but don't hold my word to it, definitely ask your doc, or a FP clinic.

    I would check in with your doctor first, just to be on the safe side or whatever.

    NHS Direct will not be able to advise you whether you should stop taking your pill. You really need to discuss this with your GP, especially as you will need to find an alternative contraceptive. If you really can't wait and you feel that you have to stop taking it now, contact your GP Out Of Hours Service - the contact details will be given to you if you ring up your normal GP surgery out of hours, normally by answerphone.

    i wonder if my dire plan to break NHS direct in the north east would still work :chin:
