Does Not Taking Pill Free Break Still Offer Protection?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I take yasmin birth control pills, I usually do not take the 7 day pill free break and havent for the last 14 weeks but I was away and lost the last 3 days of my pack so had to take a 4 day break before I returned home and could start the next pack, am I still protected as I have not had a pill free week in 14 weeks or because it was at the wrong point in the pack am I not?
