Had Copper T Implant Removed And Started Ovral L Contraceptive Tablets. What Is The Dosage Of The Pills?

Dear Doctor,
I am 29 years old, married with a 5 year old boy. After my first delivery on November 2008, I had copper t inserted. I removed this implant on September 2013. (My periods have always been regular). I started taking Ovral L (21days) contraceptive tablets for the first time from 01/11/2013. (My last period was from 25/10/2013 to 31/10/2013). and completed the 21 day course on 21/11/2013. My period starts today (26/11/2013). Generally, I have a shorter cycle. I have 2 questions and doubts in this regard,

1. When do I start the next course of Ovral L.
2. I am leaving on a trip, without my husband on 09/12/2013 and will be back on 03/01/2014. I don't have sex during periods. My expect my period to end on 02/12/2013. (my period usually lasts for 7 days).
DO I need to take pills during this period?

Kindly advise.
Thanking you!
