Q: Monofeme Pill schedule

Hey all, I've just started taking the pill (Monofeme) and I'm not 100% sure if I've been taking them correctly. When I saw my doc I was on my last day of my period, she told me to take the red tablet and work my way around. Reading the leaflet from the pack it says to take the yellow pill in the grey shaded area from the start of your period?!! I'm 4 days late of my period... have I been taking these correctly? I'm really confused, is the red tablets for when you have your period or 7 days before you get them? HELP! Sad

I really have no idea why your doctor told you to start the pack by taking the inactive (red) pills first. You should start with the active (yellow) pills on the first day of the period (menstruation). Because your period was already going on you should use additional contraception (condom).
If your expected period is 4 days late you should do pregnancy test as soon as possible!
