A member asked:

Am i still protected from pregnancy even if i took a chipped birth control pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BCP ?'s: Oral contraceptives are stopped usually every month when seven "placeblo" (inactive) pills are taken. If one is protected by taking a "seven day break" from active pills, a "chipped bcp" will not stop the protection from pregnancy.
