As long as they have not reached their expiration date and they were stored well, they should be OK. You should discuss restarting them with your physician who prescribed them, however. Be aware of that for at least the first month, you need to use other forms of contraception in addition. Good luck.

If you have taken your combination birth control pills almost perfectly but start a new pack 15-17 hours later than your scheduled time (take two pills in one day), are you still protected from pregnancy?
If you take birth control pills in a prescribed way that allows you to only have one period a year under doctor supervision can you still get pregnant?
I started my combination birth control pill pack late and had to take two pills in one day to make up for it, one when I remembered and one at the scheduled time. Am I still protected from pregnancy?
I should have started a new pack of birth control pills on Friday, but I missed the first pill so I started on Saturday. I took one pill on Sunday and two pills on Monday (today). Do I need to take plan B as I had intercourse yesterday?
