Hello!
So my birth control pills ended Saturday October 19th. I didn't get my refill until the following Tuesday the 21st due to the pharmacy being closed that Sunday. So I missed Sunday and Monday and it is now Wednesday. I figured I would wait until Sunday to start it off again but I don't know if by doing this I will upset my cycle? Will my birth control still work if I were to start on Sunday? Or should I just start today Wednesday and skip those three days I missed? Or should I wait until my period comes back at the end of the month and start it then?
I have an appointment with my Gynecologist but that's not until the end of November.
If someone could please help me with what I should do that would be amazing! Thanks so much!

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for seeking our help.
You could call your gynecologist's office and ask either the nurse or have a message relayed to the doctor. The staff of a gynecologist's office is more knowledgeable about such a situation than I am.
But, my suggestion is to wait until you get your period and start the new pack once you have finished. I would think being off of the pill for four days now, your body is adjusting and you might start having vaginal bleeding very soon.
