Am I still protected during the week I take the sugar pills (placebo)? I am taking Alesse and I have not missed any doses.

Yes, you are still protected during the week when you take the sugar pills (placebo) as long as you did not miss any pills in the three weeks leading up to it. Just make sure not to go more than 7 days without taking any pills.
