Period cycles and protection

Sa

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?

I think as long as you don’t miss more than 7 days you’re good. If you start your next pack on time I’m not sure it matter when your period starts/ends but read the pill packet to make sure! I had this issue last month and just stayed on my regular schedule and was fine!
