If I take my last inactive pill a night late, do I have to wait 7 days to be protected by my next pack?

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for your question.
It should make no difference if you take the last inactive pill a day late.
You should have withdrawal bleeding during the week of inactive pills.
You will be protected once you start taking the active pills. Continue to take a daily pill at the same time each day.
