Off-week pill

Hi, I’m just a little bit worried. I have just sex and it just happen to be inside. But I’m on pill it’s just that I am on my off-week. Does I am still protected to unwanted pregnancy?

As long as you take the next pack of pills on time you are protected now in the ‘week off’. It should explain it in the instructions inside the packet/ box of pills. Or Google the brand name of the pill and find the instructions

Hi, no reason to be worried. You are still protected even when you take the 1 week break. Just make sure not to exceed the one week break and as then you won’t be protected 🙂

Not what you're looking for?
