Does the contraceptive pill protect against pregnancy even during the 7-day break period?

Yes, as long as you have been taking your contraceptive pill correctly without missing any doses, and you do not go more than 7 days without taking it, the pill should still protect you against pregnancy even during the 7-day break period. Additionally, if you take the missed pill within 12 hours of your usual time, it should still be effective.
