As long as you have taken your pill correctly without missing any doses, you are protected against pregnancy even during this break week. It is important to start a new pack after the 7-day break to maintain its effectiveness. However, if you have missed any pills during your pack, the effectiveness may be compromised. If a condom has torn during intercourse, there is a risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), especially if you have a new partner. It is recommended to see a doctor for testing.
