Sounds right...: Yes, with most birth control pills you take the active pill for three weeks and then one week of inactive pill. You do not need to take the inactive pill; however, often it helps to keep the habit of taking the pill daily AND serves to remind you when it is time to restart the active pills in the next pack. Take care.
