Suggest Dosage For Birth Control Pill

Im on the pill but last month I accidently went the wrong way with the cycle taking when it came to the sugar pills so this led to me not having a sunday suagr pill for this month. if i missed the starting sunday sugar pill for this month and had unprotexted sex that night does that mean im not covered and should get the morning after pill? or am i still covered since the sugar pills dont really do anything? and are the you actually still protected whilst on the sugar pills?

Hi,

No. I think that if you have missed the pill, then I would suggest that there will still be chances of pregnancy. So yes, start the morning after pill ,or you can use barrier contraceptive for rest of your cycle and yes, the sugar pills don't have any protection against pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
