Go back on the pill. When you take the pills intermittently like you did (with normal life events, this is very common), having irregular bleeding and not starting at the normal time is common. Assuming you haven't gotten pregnant in the meantime (it is remotely possible but unlikely), just start the pills again. Depending on where your body is in its cycle, you may have some bleeding while you're taking the pills this month but just start the pills and either this month or next month, you'll be back on track. Worth screwing up your pills to go to France. Hope you had fun.
