If you didn't skip: any days of pills, you should continue to get full protection from the BCP. I recommend that you continue to take the placebo/sugar pills as per the package, and start next month's package a day earlier. If you normally start with day one on Sunday, make Saturday your start day for the next package. If you want Sunday start day, then you will need to use back up protection next month.
