hey yall, i have 24 active pills and 4 sugar pills in my blister, am i still protected during those 4 days where i take those 4 pills that have no hormones? Brand : daylette

If it would cause you to become unprotected it wouldn’t be allowed. Yes you’re protected.

@sksksksksksj Hi! I just started Daylette (first BC ever) yesterday, do you mind sharing your experience please? I don't know what to expect

@bookgirlie hey ☺️ ive been taking BC for a year and a half now and i switched to Daylette a month ago (new hormones for me) and so far my body has reacted well :) ive switched pills 4 times so far because BC would always make me throw up, so far nothing like that has happened and my skin looks good and i only get a 4 day break instead of 7 so im satisfied :) however ur body will take 3-6 months to adjust to the current BC youre taking so things might change over time - but for now im satisfied:) ive also heard good things about Daylette from other people !! :)

@sksksksksksj Wow, I'm glad it's all going well for you! Hope that will be the case with me. Thank you for sharing. One more thing I wanted to ask if you're comfortable sharing of course, when you take the placebo pills do you bleed for those 4 days or can it last longer? Also do you strictly start bleeding on the first day of taking the placebo pills?

@bookgirlie so i am actually about to start the placebo pills tomorrow for the first time - but it honestly depends solely on ur body u might not even bleed the first time until ur body adjusts. Most of the time u dont bleed immediately the first day - it wont last more than 4 days since the BC stops the bleeding (unless its breakthrough bleeding) but its solely based on ur own body how long ur period will last - can be 1 but also 4 days :) whenever id take my 7 day break id alwaysss get my period 2 days after i started my break and it would only last 2-3 days at most

@sksksksksksj Thank you so much, this information was really helpful!

@bookgirlie hey! little update incase u wonder lol i started my 4 day break and im on my last day today and that’s when i got my period - could be the same for u too but u could also happen to get urs earlier 🥰 the only difference i noticed is i got a few pimples now which is normal ig lol i mean hormones yk lol i used to get pimples during my period before i started BC overall but maybe just smth to keep in mind that could happen :)

@sksksksksksj Hii, thank you for the update I really appreciate it! Pimples/acne was one of the things I was scared of most because my skin is one of the little things I love about myself because it's been clear since forever I feel, and I've never gotten a zit, even now when I'm still going through puberty. Not that pimples/acne are a bad thing they're beautiful too, but I've gone so long without anything It'd be hard to adjust to it. Anyways, I wish you luck with the next pack, and hope your skin goes back to normal for you soon!
