Hi aimingforD,
The five day break in the middle is important. If you don't ovulate during that five day break, you have a second chance if you go from two capsules on day 28 to none on day 1.
Your cycle will be 28 days, and if you miss an ovulation during the five day break, it will be 28 + 2 + 14 = 34 days. I like the idea of having a second go at ovulating, but I'm still trying to figure out what this will feel like in practice. Say you stop taking PM on day 1. But no period. Suppose you ovulate on day 2, you will have a period starting on day 16. But that means two weeks without PM. You could take two capsules again from day 5 to day 15, but all that time you don't know where you are, may think you are pregnant, and feel horrible.
I don't know. Be extra careful during the breaks?
