There is nothing to be worry about if you skipped some (or all) of the last seven inactive pills in the pack. You can have sex next weekend but you can also get your period then because it is the last (fourth) week of the pack. It is not recommended to have sex while having menstruation because of the increased risk for infection.

How come you can have an infection because of having sex on your period? I thought it was okay to have sex in your period.
