Should I shorten the 7-day withdrawal bleeding interval if my period was shorter?
I take hormonal contraceptives, I drank 21 days for a month and I have to pause for 7 days, after that my period should start and from the first day of my period I should start drinking again, but my period started earlier, namely on the 4th day of the pause, and I don't know if I need to take the pill now or at the end of the 7th day of the pause

The tablets should be taken according to the manufacturer's instructions regardless of the duration of the bleeding. Even if your menstrual period has ended earlier or lasts longer than a week, you should start a new blister after the 7-day break. Do not shorten the duration of the break unless you want to change the start date of the new pack of medicine. In any other situation, the tablets are taken for 21 days at the same time, followed by a one-week break for withdrawal bleeding. Do not extend the interval for your period, as this will weaken the effect of the contraception.
