Okay I also had another question regarding this situation now I got my period Jan 5th and that sunday started the pills since my green pills are almost done most likely I am thinking I will either get one day of a period or not at all. Do you think I should be on a 28 day pack since my period takes longer to get here or will my system eventually adjust. Thanks soo much for your help.
