I have been taking necon777 for little over a yr now, I have always had regular periods until last month, and I always start on the first green pill, it was around the 21st. Well last month it was very light and only 1-2 days of just spotting when wiping perty much. We went hunting not this past weekend but the weekend before, we left friday night, I took my fridays pill, but I did not think we were staying till sunday, so I did not take them with me. So saturdays pill I took when we got home sunday night with sundays pill. We had no sex at all. Can anyone give any advice on whats going on, what might could be going on. Pleasse also arent you supposet o always start your periods on the first green pills, well here it is now, I only have 2 green pills left before I start a new batch.

Thank you

If you had sex within seven days of not taking the pills, there is a chance of pregnancy.

But the light period could also be due to missing the pills. Did you have any spotting during camping while you weren't taking the pills? I would take a test now to ease your mind and just wait for your period to come.

And no, your period won't always come on the first day of the placebo week.

If you extend your placebo week (meaning you were taking it on Sat and now you switched to Sun) you also have a risk of pregnancy until you have been taking your pills for a week.

But a late or lighter period is pretty normal. You can always test if you're worried.
