Hello Anonymous,

If I understand correctly, you finished one pack of diane 35, did not take a pill for three days, and then started a new pack?

Why?

Reach out to your gynecologist for further advice.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello and thank you for sharing your question.

You need to understand how to take the pill.  You need to take one pill a day around the same time of day until you finish the pack.  Then take 7 days off the pill.  During those 7 days you will have your period.  Start the next pack on the 8th day no matter whether or not you are still on your period.

You should have no problems if you take the pills as instructed for that kind of birth control.

Hello, today is my 5th day on the 7 day free interval of diane 35. I have a slight brownish discharge but no proper flow of period. I have not been sexually active during this month, but have been in the month of April. I skipped my period in may and just started taking birth control on June 6th. Is it normal to have just this discharge? Or is there a problem ca use I didn't have a proper period. I have been diagnosed with PCOD 5 years ago. My doctor prescribed this pill for excessive hair growth.
