Am I protected a day after taking last birth control pill?

I'm on my last placebo pill, the one that gives you a week to have your period and even though I know that I'm still protected during that week, will I still be protected the day after? For example, I'm taking my last pill today, Saturday. Am I still protected Sunday or Monday? I'll only have the time to get my new pack on Monday and when I do, do I still have to wait another week or month to be fully protected?

You're taking a big risk if you don't use condoms. Although it is unlikely that you would ovulate less than 12 days after the first day of your "period," when you're on b/c, it's not a real period. Who knows what your ovaries will decide to do in the absence of that b/c telling them not to ovulate?

I wouldn't take the chance unless you would be okay with an accidental pregnancy.

Ideally, you should buy the next pack before you run out (during your placebos).
You won't be entirely safe on Sunday because you are missing your first active pill. Use condoms on Sunday (and Monday depending on when you take your pills) and be sure to take two pills on Monday.

If I was you I would use condomes for protection, some pills are that low a dose you are only just covered, so anything out of the recomended dose is probably not safe, its to late when you are pregnant.

yes.....
