Active User, very eHealthy

I have been taking expired birth contol pills and Just noticed. The expiration date was Jan/07. How long after the expiration date are they still effective? Or am I taking a huge risk?

You may be taing a huge risk, but the onyl way to know is to call your provider or a planned parenthood in your area and ask, because I'm not sure of the answer.

Who gave you expired pills?? I have a friend who is a pharmacist. You should tell them so they are being more careful about it.
