<p>I didn’t read closely enough, that you are starting a new pack. That makes it much simpler. Seems like you could really do whatever you want…how mathmom says, or mommusic. I’ve been on the pill (and traveling all over the world) for most of thirty years. You would be hard pressed to mess anything up no matter how you did it. So you take your first pill as close to the time you are planning to do it for this pack…Israeli time. If you have to do it a couple hours off either way, no big deal. The problem with starting a heavy period is if you forget to take it one night, go 12 hours until you remember it, but a few hrs either day shouldn’t be an issue, at least it hasn’t been for me. Then again, your cycles could be different.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry much about it. Just start taking them on Israeli time (plus or minus a few hours for convenience), and your body will be adjusted. Geez, sometimes I forget to take it for a few days when I start a new pack, and since you’ve already had your period, doesn’t seem to matter. Problem is when you start taking them again, and go too long inbetween.</p>
