Unprotected?: First do a home pregnancy test. Next, your BC pills should be taken on the first day of your cycle or begin 5 days after the start. You are not retroactively effective and you will not be protected until you have finished 1 entire pack of pills. Additionally, FYI, you should always use condoms if not protected by pills to prevent STDs.
