A member asked:
Im on the pill levelen ed and i missed the forst three pills after my sugar pills am i still protected?!

Sounds doubtful: If you missed date first 3 (?) active pills you should assume you are NOT protected until you go through another cycle with consistent use. Good wishes.

Missing pills: Anytime you miss more than one pill in a pack of pills, you should stop taking the pills, discard that pack, and wait until after your next period starts and then start a new pack of pills. In the meantime, you should be very careful to avoid pregnancy.
