Do I need a plan b if I had unprotected sex during my pill-free week?

If you had unprotected sex during your pill-free week and you have been consistent with taking your pill beforehand, then you are still protected. It is crucial to ensure that your pill-free week is no longer than 7 days, as extending it could potentially trigger ovulation and put you at risk. Some newer pills on the market now have shorter pill-free periods to minimize this risk.
