Question

If I skip my period on the Pill, will I have the same contraceptive cover all through the month?

Answer

Yes, when you are skipping a bleed your contraception is still working and you are covered against pregnancy, provided you have taken your pills correctly. For more info on taking the Pill correctly see the Pill Fact Sheet: http://www.fpnsw.org.au/sex-matters/factsheets/54.html.
