Birth control pill question

Unread post by Angeldelight123 »

Hi!
I was wondering if you guys here at scarleteen can answer a quick question for me.

Basically I am on the pill, it has 21 active pills with a 7 day break of taking no pills.

Tomorrow I am due to take my last pill of the packet before taking my 7 day break, and my boyfriend will be over tomorrow and we are planning on having sex, therefore will I be protected even though it's my last pill and I'll be taking my 7 day break the following day? Am i still safe?

We have a great article that answers this question and goes into detail about how the birth control pill works to provide some context: How do birth control pills really work, even during the placebo period?
