Good morning, this week I have a weekend trip and I did not take placebo pills, I immediately started 2 packs of Vibin Mini. However, I realized in the evening that 15 hours had passed since the fixed hour of taking the hormone. I immediately took the forgotten tablet but more than 12 hours passed. Do I need to protect myself?

Starting to take the next pack of the drug immediately is associated with the omission of menstrual bleeding. Due to the fact that the previous 3-week cycle of taking the tablets was going well, we treat the start of the second package as the next, separate cycle. Thus, skipping the pill from the first week (from the first strip) is associated with the need to use additional contraceptive methods before the next 7 days.

In that case, the package (without placebo tablets) and immediately start the second package treat as 1 cycle? Because I skipped this tablet from 1 strip . However, I did not take a break so it comes out with active tablets come out 4 cycles

A delay in the use of Vibin Mini with an interval of more than 12 hours may require additional protection depending on the week in which the use of tablets containing the active substance (pink) is missed. If you miss a tablet within the first week of use, take the missed tablet immediately and use mechanical contraception, such as a condom, for 7 consecutive days. Skipping a pill in the second week is also associated with the need to take it immediately, however, if the previous tablets were taken at fixed times, there is no need to use additional contraceptive methods. After skipping a dose of the drug in the third week, in the event that the use of the drug was previously normal, there is no need to use additional methods of contraception. It is recommended to take the forgotten dose immediately and continue to take the pink tablets from the blister, then skip the 7 white tablets and start a new pack directly.
