I am on the birth control but took plan b because of antibiotics. I got my period and everything. Will the plan b (which was taken on the first day of the sugar pills of my last pack) mess up my pills for this month? Like do I have to wait 7 days until I’m protected or am I protected when I started the new pack? This is my third month on the pill. Thanks for your help!

If you started your new pack of birth control pills on time, you most likely were/are still protected from pregnancy. If you wanted more peace of mind, wait a full 7 days for the “new” pack of pills to become effective. When using your pills correctly and consistently, you are protected during your hormone free week.

The Plan B may cause you to experience some irregular spotting or bleeding during this next pill cycle. Your next period may be a little earlier or later than usual. It may be lighter or spottier than usual. Continue taking your pills every day, and your period will return to normal in the next month or two.
