A member asked:
Had my 7 day pill free break, and took my first pill of my new pack the next day, and had sex the day after. will that one pill protect me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you are taking your birth control pills correctly, you are not ovulating. You are protected as long as you are taking your pills everyday even through the placebo or pill free days.
