Question : I am not sure if I am protected against pregnancy or not. I have been on the pill Tri-Estarylla for 2 years now I take it everyday at 1030am or 1230pm it's a 28 day pill pack with 7 days of sugar pills when I get my withdrawal bleed. My boyfriend and I had sex on Monday the day after my active pills started up again. My question is am I protected against pregnancy or do need plan B?

Brief Answer:
No need of plan B.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since you are taking the pill regularly for last 2 years without missing any doses in the last cycle. you are protected against pregnancy. There is no need to take a plan B. Do take your active pills regularly as scheduled. No need to worry. You are protected while you are taking sugar pills and when you start the next pack.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
