Thanks, I wasn't entirely sure how to handle the pills since they were just prescribed to me... so, I suppose from here on out, I'll just skip this cycle and keep going with the pills until I finish the pack.
And just one more little question, I wonder how much alcohol might interfere with the effectiveness? I know I really ought to cut back on the smoking, but I do enjoy relaxing every now and then with a glass (or perhaps several 😁) so I figured I'd ask about that too 🙂.
I’m just repeating my request here; I would be truly grateful if some kind soul could offer an answer.🙂

It sounds like you're facing a bit of a timing dilemma, given that your period is already looming and those familiar symptoms have started creeping in. If the goal is to push things back by maybe nine or ten days, the general idea—at least from what I gather—is that one would start taking the pill immediately, rather than waiting for the actual onset of bleeding. Then, presumably, you’d stop taking them once you’ve reached that desired window of delay. It’s a bit of a delicate balancing act, I guess, and nothing is ever quite as straightforward as it seems.
And then there's the question of what happens next, once that little period of postponement is over and the actual cycle finally arrives. I imagine you're wondering if that counts as part of the usual seven-day break in a standard pill regimen, or if it's treated differently. It seems plausible that it might function similarly to a regular break, but then again, everything involving hormonal shifts feels somewhat unpredictable, doesn't it?

The first day was alright, I suppose, if you consider it passable, but the second day was an absolute train wreck.
Kudos to the organizers, I guess. 🙏
