ACCEPTED

What you should have done was gone straight on to the next pack and not had a withdrawal bleed this month. However, as you have not had intercourse it is less important. Just to be on the safe side, I would recommend extra precautions for the first two weeks of the cycle, that will give time for levels to get even again.

Does this help?
