Hi Anon, and thanks for your question. Since you missed your period, and likely have irregular cycles, you will need to pick a new start date that is close to being the Sunday after you would have started your period on a regular cycle.In your case it sounds like it could be several Sundays, which is okay, just pick a date and then be sure you use a backup birth control method such as condoms with spermicide during the first seven days of being back on the pill. Best, Pat
