Hi,
Last cycle I took my pills a bit late 2-3 times throughout the three weeks - culminating in taking the last active pill (which should have been taken on Saturday afternoon) Sunday evening. I had already been spotting during the last 3-4 days of active pills (from Weds or Thurs) and then had my period during the inactive week as usual. I then had unprotected sex the following Saturday just after my period ended (6 days after taking the late active pill, 10 days after starting spotting). I started the next pack of pills ontime the next day as usual. It's now been two weeks so I still have close to a week of active pills.
My concern is about taking several of the pills during the last cycle up to 15 hrs late - could that affect my cycle and leave me unprotected even though I got back on track and waited 6 days after the last active pill to have intercourse?
