Hi, i'm currently on birth control (linessa 28) and i started taking my pills backwards accidentally. i'm already on my third week and i was wondering?

No, no, no: If you were sexually active during that time you weren't protected. So use another form of protection the rest of the month if you are active and be more careful in the future. They only are effective if you follow the instructions!
