I will be getting married at the end of this month. I will be taking the final pill of my first ortho tri-cyl lo pack. Will I be protected or should we use other protection as well?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
If you have been regular with the birth control pill use and have not missed taking the pills, you should remain protected. If you have not taken the pills at scheduled time or have missed taking the pills, then consider using additional protection while having intercourse to remain protected. Start the next pill pack at the scheduled time and be regular with the birth control pill use.
Take care.
