A member asked:

If you are on your birth control reminder pills(when you get your period) and you don't take them, could you get pregnant?

No: As long as you take the regular dosage pills as scheduled and start your next pack at the right time.

They're placebo: There's no active hormone in those pills, so they don't act to prevent pregnancy. However, taking a pill every day helps people to remember to take them consistently which is the best thing to do to prevent pregnancy.
