I am on ortho try cyclean lo and have been taking it for like 5 months. If I have unprotected sex while on the set of inactive pills and my boyfriend does not pull out am I still protected by the pill or should I be using a condom?

You are protected from pregnancy during the week of inactive pills. No need to use a condom if you're taking your pills every day and on time.

I take them every day and have never missed a pill. I dont take them at the exact same time every day due to a crazy college schedule but its never very far from the time that I am suposed to take it is that still ok? Also have you tried this or has a doctor told you this?
