Am I Protected Despite Discontinuing Microgynon For A Week?
Question: While on microgynon 30 I stop taking my pill on a Wednesday for my 7 day break but I don't usually start my period till the Saturday. So even tho I'm not taking my pill from Wednesday to Wednesday while on my 7 day break am I still protected? And is there any chance of me getting pregnant if I was to have sex between Wednesday and Saturday even tho I'm not taking my pill those days?
Brief Answer:
Yes you are protected
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
Even if you haven't menstruate during your first 7-day free pill ,you are still protected in the seven day break.
You will be protected if you take them regularly.
All the best
