Periods In The Middle Of Second Month Of Taking 21 Day Pill Junel For 2 Months. Still Protected During Non Period Days?

Hello,
I'm using 21 day pill Junel for 2 months but my period did not start during the forth week neither after first month nor after second. I had my period in the middle of the second month of taking pills as a normal 5 days period. So now I am not sure if I'm still protected after 7 days break while I did not have my period. Please advise. Thanks!

Hi ! Good morning . I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Pills do prevent pregnancy, but they do not provide a 100% guarantee. One can still get pregnant while taking the 21 day pill. If you have got any doubt, I would suggest you to go for a urine pregnancy test, followed by a serum HCG and an ultrasound if need be for confirmation and if advised by your family phusician.

Thanks for using healthcaremagic for your health query. Good luck. Dr Shareef.
