First combined pill break

Emily

Hi friends,

I'm taking my first week break from my pill and I'm not entirely sure what to expect. I've been told to take a break every 9 weeks but I wasn't told what will happen.

Will it hurt? Will I bleed the next day after not taking it? Do I need to use condoms for that week and the week after?

I have no idea what's going on and google hasn't been helpful answering my questions.

Just wondered if anyone here knew :)
