Dear Dr, am I still protected?
Im taking levlen at the moment. I have consistently been taking this pill the same time every day for 18 days. Unfortunately for the 19,20 and 21st pill I forgot to take it (lost the pack). I thought I was safe because I already had 18 active pills so I was involved in sexual contact with my bf on those three days. 4th day past since lost pill. However I was told by my friend that if I go on to my next pack without having a break I would be protected? Is this correct or do I need ECP
