Ok, I posted a while ago about taking AB for 5 days, but them lasting for 10 days in my system, and you suggested I use back up until I have taken 14 days in a row after the AB. well, after the AB I had only 4 days of active pills left, then 4 days of placebos (on loestrin 24) i started again on sunday, but my question is- do i still need to take 14 active days before i am protected? do i have to take 10? i am just wondering because i am unsure. don't like using back up so i would like to not use it more than necessary, but i definitely want to use it as long as needed. not into taking unnecessary chances either!
thanks
