Period cycles and protection

Samantha

Hi ladies,

My period is EXTREMELY REGULAR on birth control. Like clockwork. My period starts the Tuesday of my placebo week and typically ends on Saturday before my new pill pack begins on Sunday.

Im on the combination pill and have been for over 2 years.

This last week, my period started on Sunday instead of Tuesday, which caused it to end on Thursday. So between Thursday-Sunday I didn’t take any pills, waiting for my new pack to start.

I took my first pill today at the start of my new pack. Am I protected?
