Gotcha, good to know. We knew that it was important to take it as scheduled, but were somewhat confused as to the actual mechanics. Thanks for sorting that out for us, ladies

We figured it wouldn't make sense to not be protected just because of taking the placebos and not getting a period right away, but we also weren't sure if that happens to many people, especially like in my case where it takes a few days for the period to begin. No information that I could find addressed that specifically. Figured it was better to ask and know for sure.
