So, I stopped taking my birth control pills the day I was supposed to start my "sugar pills" but also didnt take my normal pills for another 5 days after my period (I didnt start my new pack until 5 days later) all due to me forgetting to pack them. I started taking them the day I got back, which was a Friday. I've been taking them for 10 days now, am I protected now?? Because I know you're usually protected after 7 days, but since I waited 5 days after my period THEN started, do I have to wait a whole month or am I good?? I've been having sex since that Friday, all days using the pull out method, but then today we didnt pull out. (I also took a pregnancy test yesterday and it came back negative so thats good) I need some answers!!
