12 full cycles with no period it is considered "safe" - You can also ask your doctor to check your follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (estradiol) levels with a blood test. As menopause occurs, FSH levels increase and estradiol levels decrease.

These last 7 are inactive placebos with no hormones that are just there to help you keep track of when to start the next pack. Most women will have their menses mid week of the placebo pill week. The other pills (the first 21) have the active hormones and you can take fewer of them and start the placebos early to move your menses up or take extra from another pack and so start the placebos later to move the menses back. This is safe to do but may cause you to run short of pills if your insurance limits when you can get a refill.
