right ! im back , ok now. im on monofeme , and i actually have less than i thought i did (had an empty box, oops )
Now, would i be right in assuming that one, i dont know what to call it , set? is one cycle ?or for one month? there are 28 pills in it , including the red ones.
And i have two , and am up to day 3 in one of the packs, so does that mean i would renew them in september ? cos two months, thats all of july ,and all of August ?
im confused

i just used my brain and checked pack again , and i have two boxes and on each box it says 3 month pack , 3 strips of 28 tablets ...is that a six month pack ? i only have the two strips left

I am with you rchick, with this decision I would rather it takes a little longer than get preggers earlier than we intended.

Might take busymum's advice and renew my script and only use 1 box. ie 3 months worth.

I can always use this time to justify buying baby stuff.

That means you have 2 months worth of pills left...so should take you to the end of August. I filled my last pill prescription last week, but got 6 months worth (which we may not use all of - yay!). We are coming off the BCP at the end of the year but won't be using condoms - we both hate them. So it'll be all on TTC as soon as the BCP is stopped.

Kelly, (yes, sounds like a 6-month pack). So with Monofeme you have 28-day strips, each with 21 active (yellow?) pills and 7 inactive (red?) pills. On a strip like that, the right time to stop taking the pills is after you take your last active pill and before you start the active pills from the next strip. It doesn't matter if you take any of the inactive pills before you stop or not, just don't start taking the active ones again, or you should really go for another 21 days.
So that means each strip of 28-pills, you have 7 days that you could stop taking the pill. It doesn't matter if you still have more 28-day strips in your pack - you can stop during the inactive pills of any strip.
So its up to you whether you stop at the end of your current strip or in those 7 days of any month between now and when you TTC. Does that make sense?
Fleury, its nice someones thinking the same as me. Good luck with TTC next year and I hope it happens quickly for us both!
