Hi
Welcome to healthcareMagic
If you have taken combined pills daily for last 21 days then you should not worry. You are protected because you are in safe days. Protection of combined pills lasts for that particular cycle. For protection in next cycle you should start taking pills again after gap of 7 days. In your case periods may start soon. Take care.
