Hello and welcome.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern. As you said you missed first 3days of your periods, days that fall in safe period (days where there is no or less chances of pregnancy).


So you don't need to worry, start from pill no four and continue as per the normal schedule i. e, 4th 5th and so on.

Hope this is the answer to your question write us further if you need any help. Also provide your feed back too.
