Hello, What happens if I don't take my first Vixpo contraceptive pill after a 4-day break? I wanted to postpone the withdrawal bleeding by skipping the last active pill from the previous blister, but I forgot that the day of taking the first of the next blister would also change. Unfortunately, I realized it only after 2 days and it was too late to take the missed pill.

To @Anna:
Yes, after 7 days of regular, correct use of the pills, you are fully protected.
Thank you for your answer, I didn't have intercourse before, and I protected myself for the next 7 days in the form of a condom. In this case, can I assume that now (the above situation took place a week ago) I am fully protected thanks to the pills?

If you extend the 4-day break by one day, you should treat this situation as skipping a tablet for 1-7 days. According to the manufacturer's information, subsequent pills should be taken at a fixed, fixed time and an additional, barrier contraceptive method (e.g. a condom) should be used during intercourse for the next 7 days. If you have had unprotected sex in the week before you missed the pill, you are at risk of becoming pregnant due to a reduction in contraceptive protection.
If you have any doubts, I encourage you to contact your doctor. The Gdziepolek.pl portal allows you to take advantage of teleconsultations:
