Latindancer Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My wife usually takes Lindynette 20 as an oral contraceptive. Recently I went away for a few weeks and have returned to discover that although she started her period 10 days ago, and finished it about 5 days ago, she has not started the next pill packet. She thinks she can start taking them this week. As far as I know, I now have to use a different type of contraceptive for the rest of the month.... yes ? Anyone have a definitive answer, please ? And the tablet-free days start a week BEFORE her period...yes ? Lindynette 20 tab Gestodene 0.075 mg, ethinyl estradiol 0.02 mg Lindynette 30 tab Gestodene 0.075 mg, ethinyl estradiol 0.03 mg, 1 tab daily for 21 consecutive days on 1st day of menstrual cycle followed by 7 tab-free days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latindancer Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 The local pharmacist says if my wife starts the pill immediately, we'll be ok in a week...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Not true, don't chance it. if started at the beginning of the menstrual cycle this would be so, but starting 10 days into the cycle there is a definite chance she will still ovulate this month. Use condoms until her next menstrual period has arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
