A member asked:
I started a new bc pack a day late (took mon instead of sun) and 5 days later i had sex with a condom. am i protect from pregnancy?

The condom works: Using a condom properly during sexual activities will protect against pregnancy, regardless of what else is going on. That being said, starting a new pack of birth control pills one day late should be ok, and not noticeably decrease the effectiveness of the pills.
