  • Should I Continue My Pills?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Hello! I was without my birth control pills for two weeks due to confusion with my doctor's office and pharmacy. One week of this was my period. I took one pill after receiving them and a few hours later, my husband and I had sex. We have had sex several times since then.
