I've been on the sublingual drops for 2 weeks & have lost 11.5 lbs so far & am on the 43 day cycle. I am on Depo Provera birth control so my last period was last August (9 months ago). I have 1 or 2 periods per year. My period started last week so I went off the drops the 2nd day after I realized I wasn't just spotting. I'm still "bright red" but this was morning #4 of no drops & my hunger was very strong so I went ahead & started back on the drops (I have stayed on the 500 cal diet). My question is: Since I've been off the drops for 4 days, does that count "against" the 43 days or should I extend my drops by 4 days?
