Am I Unprotected Due To The Intake Of Microgynon For 29 Days?

I ve been on microgynon for years. I started taking last months packet but a week in I left the packet in a hotel so I got a different packet and continued with that (no missed days). However, I stupidly forgot this and finished the whole packet and then stopped for my 7 day break. Today I ve realised that instead of 21 days, I ve taken 29 and stopped. Am I unprotected?http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/topics/drugs/microgynon/58815?iL=true

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

NO, you should still be protected. There are some women who take microgynon consistently for a few months eg seasonale (contains the same ingredients as microgynon).

These women are protected with this consistent use so you should be protected as well.

I hope this helps
