A member asked:
Hi there! i'm on birth control and it's my placebo week. about two months ago, i took two pills on accident in one day. am i still protected from pregnancy during the placebo week?

The incident from two months ago would not affect the protection afforded by the pill. It is recommended that you take the pill at about the same time each day. You are protected during the placebo week, if you have been taking it regularly for a month and continue taking the recommended pills. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines Get HPV vaccine.
