A member asked:

3rd month bc,unprotected mid 3rd month. on first day placebo, no period yet. one day missed but took 2 the next day, since then always on time, prego?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BCP: Based on how you have been taking your pills you should be well protected. It is not unusual for periods to not start until 2-3 days on placebo. If you do not have a period at all then take a pregnancy test, preferably a serum test at your physicians office prior to starting the next pack.
