Hi everyone, i’m just wondering if I’m still protected. I took a 7- day break and was supposed to start a new pack on Tuesday at 6 p.m. I totally spaced going to the pharmacy to refill my packs, so unfortunately I wasn’t able to take my pill until 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, the next day. I still took my Wednesday pill as normal. Do I need a backup method since I was on a break or am I ok? 💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊❌❌❌❌❌❌❌🔶💊💊💊💊 Brand: Lessina

What does your pamphlet say?

Depending on your instructions you may need a backup method. Read your pamphlet ASAP. If it tells you that you lost protection then it means your break wasn’t covered for.

@Yi_eune my pamphlet says: “WHAT TO DO IF YOU MISS PILLS If you MISS 1 (pink) "active" pill: 1. Take it as soon as you remember. Take the next pill at your regular time. This means you may take two pills in one day. 2. You do not need to use a back-up birth control method if you have sex. it just doesn’t specify what to do after a break week, but i’m assuming the same thing would apply?

If it doesn’t have specific advice for missed pills around break weeks then yes that’s the advice you need to follow.

@bluerose9 thank you 😊
