Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Daphne contraceptive is a pack of 28 pills and mostly bleeding starts while taking last 7 (blank) pills. Or, sometimes period is skipped.
You have already finished the pills. No bleeding yet, may be period is skipped this month. To avoid the confusion, new pack is started the very next day of finishing the old one.
Possibility of pregnancy is only you had not used extra care in transaction period of two brands. If you have been careful about using ®ular pill without a break, there is no possibility of pregnancy.
Pregnancy can be excluded by home pregnancy test after 8 days delay in periods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
