Ok so I've been on the pill since last August and I've switched three different times because they are working like they're supposed to. They're supposed help regulate my period. Anyways I also have unprotected sex with my boyfriend often. We have been for more than a year now. I take my brith control to the t most days but was wondering about the placebo pills. If those aren't like protection against getting pregnant should we use protection during the week of placebo pills or are we still fine. We've always just not used protection since I got on the pill.
