Q: Can I Change the Day I Start a New Pack?

So I will be finished with my 2nd packet of ortho tri-cyclen lo this wednesday. ( I started taking them on a wednesday).

However, I was wondering if I could change the day that I start a new pack to another day, like sunday. It seems as though when most people finish their last pill, they don't get their period until a few days later. I got mine on saturday last month, so im guessing thats going to happen in the futue, and I would rather get it during the week instead of the weekend. Haha.

So is there any way I can fix this? Can I just start my next pack early, on sunday instead of waiting until wednesday? Or will this cause a problem, like spotting?

Thanks so much!

Yes you can start a new pack early, but do not do it later because you will be compromising your protection.. You can change it around as long as you make it earlier :)
