Hello, I have been using contraceptives (elliade) for 10 months, recently I had to take ellaone on day 6 of the cycle due to missing one pill until the end of the cycle I took the pills normally, now I have started a new blister, withdrawal bleeding is normal, my question is there contraceptive protection from the beginning of the blister or do I have to wait 7 days after starting a new pack?

And I have a question, if someone uses Elliade - how do I postpone bleeding by a day or two in these pills? With 1 or 2 brown I already get bleeding so I don't know how to proceed here to make it okay.
Thank you very much for your answer

Since enough time has passed, the protection is restored and now you no longer have to protect yourself additionally. Simply take your birth control pills regularly and you will be protected.
I didn't take a break, I just took ellaone and continued to use the pills until the end of the blister and the first pill from the new blister fell out on the third day of menstruation and hence my question whether I am already protected or do I have to wait 7 days after starting the new package

Elliade tablets are taken continuously. The recommendation to take the first blister tablet on the first day of menstruation applies only to the start of the drug – i.e. the first cycle.
In subsequent cycles, you should take one tablet a day for 28 consecutive days.
Each subsequent pack should be started the day after taking the last tablet from the previous blister.
So I don't understand, that's why you wait until the first day of bleeding to start a new package. All the more so because withdrawal bleeding is not physiological menstruation, but artificially induced bleeding generated by reducing the dose of hormones in the pill. If you take breaks between packs, you are doing it wrong and the protection is not maintained.
So if I take the first pill on the 3rd day of menstruation, is there already protection? Because in the leaflet it says that protection is when you take the first pill on the first day of menstruation, please answer

According to the information contained in the summary of product characteristics of EllaOne (copy below), a patient starting another cycle of contraceptive pills no longer needs to use additional protection during intercourse:
"Although taking ellaOne is not a contraindication to continuing permanent hormonal contraception, this product may reduce its contraceptive effect. Therefore, after the use of contraception in emergency cases, until the start of the next menstrual cycle during subsequent sexual intercourse, it is recommended to protect with a trustworthy mechanical method. If a woman wishes to start hormonal contraception as a permanent method of contraception, she can do so immediately after using ellaOne, but she should use a trustworthy mechanical method for the next menstrual cycle."
