Can I Get Pregnant If I Have Unprotected Sex During Last Week Of Pills?
I'm stopping the pill for awhile and I'm on my last pack of real pills, I still have the last 7 'period day' pills, I was wondering if I have unprotected sex while taking these pills if I could get pregnant, or since i'm not taking anymore after these, does that mean when the real pills are done then I'm officially off birth control

Hello,
In my opinion, the last period of day pills is a dummy without any hormones. So there intake or discarding doesn't affect the effectiveness of hormonal pills. So intercourse during on pills might not result in a pregnancy as pills are effective in all contraception methods. So dont worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
