Will Active Pills Protect Me From Getting Pregnant?

I started my period the last week of active pills. Did not take placebos. I should start new pack in morning. Am I protected. I never miss a pill. This will start my 4th month. Should i have started new pack sunday after I started instead of waiting to start new pack on schedule?

Hi. You are fully protected. The placebo pills are simply iron. This is to esure your regular taking of medicine and no confusion. But if you have taken active pills regularly, then also it is ok. You can start new pack and take it as routine.
Thanks.
