<s>[INST] Hi there. Iv been taking Microgynen 30 for over ten years- i was due to start my next packet 3 days ago but have run out of supply- I won t be able to get any more for at least another week- I understand my contraception is jepordised, but just in terms of restarting a packet- should i wait/skip the whole month?or just start taking them again the day I get some more... and start the packet cycle from there... Is this good for my body? or should I just have a clean break now, seen as I am missing 2 weeks worth anyway. For the record I have just turned 36- not sure if this affects anything. One day, I would like to get pregnant! [/INST] Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Since you have already missed two weeks of your medication now, there will not be any protection in this cycle should you ovulate, even if you start taking the pill the moment you get it. Thus, it is ideal to use some form of barrier protection, preferably double, during this cycle and go for the pill from the next cycle so as not to jeopardize the hormone rhythm. Further, you should use additional protection for the next couple of cycles for added benefit. Considering your age, you should think of conception in the next couple of years in order to avoid chance of infertility as hormones dwindle with advancing age. Hope this helps. </s>
