I usually take Marvelon 28s as I've never had any side effects from them and they're small enough that i can swallow them. Anyways, I've been short of money lately so when my last pack ran out I didnt' renew the prescription, my boyfriend lives in another province so I haven;'t been having sex since i stopped the pills so I'm fine, my question is, I dont have money for a new pack till next wednesday, if I start the pack on the wednesday, by boyfriend comes out on the 7th of December, am I protected by the pills or should I use a backup tp avoid pregnancy? We've both been tested before we got together and both are std free, I've also been tsted a second time since then when i went in for my last pap test I always get checked for other things cause it doesn't cost anything extra and doesnt take a lot of extra time either.
