I had been on an ultra low dose of bcp for 15 months. Dec 26, 2010 was my last pill. I had re-ordered a prescription to find out it wasn't available the day I went to the pharmacy. I was leaving for a vacationthe next day for 3 weeks. I was not on anything while away and still have not started a new cycle of pills. I'm waiting until after I finish my next period. If I were still on my pills I would have gotten it today, but still haven't. I'm assuming I'll get it on the 24th like last month.
