When you finish your birth control pack do you immediately get a new one to continue taking it everyday?

Question

Idk how this stuff works the doctor didn’t explain anything to me really and this is my first time so I know all dumb questions ! But I recently got sexually active in the past year. Like if I finish it what do I do? I’ve been reading the pamphlet and it said something about another pill? After I finish or something like idk🥲

Answer

Yes, you need to go to the pharmacy and get your new pack of pills before you run out so that you start it in time.

Answer

I usually get my next pack a week or two before I run out to be sure. Whether you start right after finishing your pack depends on what pill you’re on. A 21-pill pack will have a break week between packs but anything else you take back to back without pauses in between. You may want to consult your pamphlet or even call your doctor/pharmacist to explain exactly how it works to make sure you avoid silly mistakes
