If your partner is not taking her birth control pills, then she is not protected. If she missed 5 days of pills, then she had no protection against pregnancy during these 5 days. When your partner begins her new pack of pills, you will need to wait at least 7 days for the pills to become effective. If you wait 2 weeks, this should be ample enough time for the pills to have become effective.
