A member asked:
I start my new birth control pill pack 1 day late. i took 2 pills the next day. however, i had unprotected sex earlier that morning. am i still protected from pregnancy?

Possibly: It depends if you were already on Birth control (BC) pills the previous month. If you were on BC last month then most likely you were protected and taking 2 pills the next day is the right thing to do. But if you were not on BC the previous month then no you are not protected and you need emergency contraception such as "Levonelle One Step" available in the UK.
