well i would think if you took the day after pill you should be covered, the sooner you take it the more effective it is, how did you run out of pills though? did you just not have another pack ready? I always get mine about the week before I finish my pack so that I have it already with me, but I'd say since you took the day after pill the following day you should be ok

You MUST take birth control pills for 7 days before you are protected form pregnancy.

The PLAN B morning after pill can be used up to 5 days after sex.

You should take this if you have had sex prior to 7 days. It is safe to take PLAN B and birth control.
