Wondering about Birth control

2018-01-14 18:07:14
I recently restarted taking my birth control pills after about a year of being off it. I started it right after my period, did the 21 days then stopped (thinking I am going to stop for the 7-day break). However my period was 4 days late. Do I restart the pill on schedule, which would make it near the end but still during my period, or do I wait until it's over? Thank you.
