Hi im just wondering if anyone could tell me if i am still protected against pregnancy if instead of having a seven day pill free week i add another pill on the end of my packet from a new packet ,so that i take 22 pills instead of 21 and so instead of a seven day break i only have a six day break changing the day i come on my period to a day later then usual. I am asuming i will be protected as i am not having longer then a seven day break so my overies wont release an egg. if it helps i am taking Microgynon 30 hope some one can help me

You're probably best asking your GP/practice nurse.
if next time you take 21 tablets instead of the normal 22 then chances are they won't be as effective as they should. otherwise why would they bother having 22 tablets?
just run the packets together.
