This question was based on a reply posted on this forum where that was stated. I didn't understand it either. I just thought my period might come a day earlier. I missed my last pill & had sex the next night and decided to check this forum about it. My search brought up a post and reply which stated the above. Based on this I already took the regimine of 4 & 4 Nordettes as Emer. BC. My period was barely spotting and then quit. I quess I should begin with my next pack on schedule?

Thank you SO MUCH for finding the time to answer these seemingly unending repetitive questions for us. I'm in med school and I dont understand how you find the time. Thanks again, Anissa
