I'm starting my fourth month of the pill, am i protected as soon as i take my first pill?

I'm not sure what ?: What are you asking? Have you missed pills, been off the pill, etc? If you have been on the pill and using as prescribed for 4 months, you have been protected from pregnancy since the first 7 days of the first month you started the pill.
