Yes, you can start taking a new pack of Birth Control pills as soon as you finish the "active" pills in the pack. If you have a 28-day pill pack, the active pills are the first 3 weeks of pills. The 4th week of pills are the "non-active" pills. "Active" just means that the pills have hormones in them which are active. "Non-active" means that these pills have no active hormones in them. In other words, the "non-active" pills cause the withdraw bleeding of a period. They allow your body to shed the lining of the uterus, just like during a regular period. If you skip the 4th week of pills, and immediately start a new pill pack, you will prevent the hormone withdraw and thus, the withdraw bleeding of a period. This is considered safe in most cases, however, you should check with your physician (the physician who knows your medical history and has prescribed your birth control pills), to be sure that it is safe in your specific situation. (FYI, I am a true physician and hope that this information helps. Again, you should always check with your own doctor because each individual's situation and medical problems and history are unique. It is unwise and oftentimes unsafe to take advice from a physician who has not examined you and taken a full medical history from you. In taking medical advice over the internet, you are taking a risk that could affect your health and life. Have a great day, and talk with your own doctor about your situation. )
