Ok i need sum help...

Last month i took one of my pills more than 12 hours late. I took it straight away and all my other pills on time after that. In total including my late pill i took 7 pills. I then had my period in my seven day break. I started my second pack on time and have taken seven pills so far, me and boyfriend had sex without a condom. Should i still be protected fully or is there a chance that protection has been affected?

Please help xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

birdynumnums agony auntIf you have been taking birth control for several months and the gap is only 12 hours, you should be okay. Take a pregnancy test if you are driving yourself crazy so that you can stop worrying and relax!

Are you sure that you should be having sex without a condom? I have always recommended to my own kids to keep using a condom AND another method of birth control UNTIL they are married. You should probably consider getting the HPV vaccine, to protect your future fertility.

If you had your period already and haven't miss anymore pills after, then you should be protected fully.
