If you did not take your birth control pills for a week, you were not protected by them. The pills are only effective while you are taking them.
Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, can be very effective at preventing pregnancy. With typical use, condoms are about 85% effective.
However, even with a condom, there can be a chance of pregnancy. If you’re interested in restarting your pills, and are unsure about how to do this, give your clinic a call for instructions. Otherwise, continue using condoms with every act of intercourse and look for your period when its due.
