Ok...so I start my peach pills today(nonactive pills) My period usually last about 3 to 4 days, so that leaves me 7 days of no period untill I have to start my new pack of pills. Can I still have sex without worry about pregnancy? Or will I need to wait till this next tuesday when I start my new pack of pills.
Thanks!

Thirty minutes is not late. Up to an hour or hour and a half is ok. Skipping a pill, or taking it 12 hours late is a different story.

Read your package insert. It's all explained in it. If you've taken them correctly, the hormones prevent ovulation. If you don't ovulate, you can't get pregnant, even during the placebo week.
