Taking the pill back to back
Hi. I have taken 2 packs of my pill back to back (lucette). Is it still ok to have a 7 day break or does it have to be a shorter break?

It's supposed to be a 7 day break.

Ok onky because I read somewhere you should take a shorter break if you take the pills back to back but it didn't say why

No, you should still have a 7 day break.
If you really, really can't have a 7 day break for whatever reason then you can have a shorter break, but this will increase your chances of breakthrough bleeding (ie bleeding when you're not on your break).
You must not have a longer break unless you realise you're not protected and use additional contraception.
