I am getting married in a week, and thus have been on birth control for the past few months. I have a question though...

I currently am taking Seasonale (the 3-months of active pills). During the week of placebos and the first week back on the pill, should backup birthcontrol methods be used?

Hi natural11, welcome!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

If you have been taking your pills correctly and go no more than 7 24-hour days between active pills you are still protected during your placebo week and there is no need to use back-up.

Good luck,
