Can I only take 4 inactive pills of Alesse, or do I have to wait 7 days before resuming the hormones?

In general, when taking a contraceptive pill like Alesse, you do not have to wait a full 7 days before starting a new pack. You can shorten the break period if needed, but do not extend it beyond 7 days. This can reduce the effectiveness and increase the risk of ovulation. Just make sure to start the new pack with hormone pills, not the inactive ones. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out for further assistance.
