A member asked:
If i took 1 birth control pill out of order, but have continued on with the pack and taken 1 active pill a day am i still protected from pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be: No birth control is 100%. If all your active pills are the same color, and you have been taking them daily, you should be fine.
