60/4 = 15 days
Yes you should be proctected provided that you are taking the pills at regular times everyday, but it is still a good idea to use a condom as well.
Hi :-) Yes, this is normal. There is no time limit for when you start your period during the sugar pills. As long as you start your period during the seven day worth of sugar pills then this is normal.
You should expect your period to arrive on or before the last day of the sugar pills. But sometimes you can arrive the next week after your sugar pills. It takes a while for BCP to get used to your body. This could be why you havent gotten your period.
As long as you are not late in starting your next pack of pills, and took the prior cycle correctly, there's no additional risk of pregnancy on the last day of your period. If you're late starting the new pack, use a back up method of birth control until you've taken seven pills correctly.
If you have finished with the pills and the faux pills, had your period, then you start the new set of pills after the last day of your period.
It is ok to take them 2 times a day as long as you try the once a day first for about three days and if you feel that it is not helping then move up to two a day.
1 pill every 6 hours is 4 a day. 60 pills divided by 4 pills a day is 15 days.
Its different in everyone. But usually anytime within the 7 day period and sometimes on the 1st day you start taking the pills again.
All day long
Yes, skip the 7 inactive pills and go straight to the next packet of pills, the day after taking the last active pill, in packet 1.
The answer could only be determined by how many times a day it was used. A estimated guess would be using the starter 2 - 4 times a day it should last 10 to 20 years.
The last pills in your birth control pack do NOT have actual medication in them. They're only there to keep you in the habit of taking a pill every day. You will get your regular period on the days you are taking the inactive/sugar pills. Brands vary, but most 28-day packs have 7 sugar pills in the last row. They should be clearly marked as such, and are always a different color than the active pills.
