no

You're always protected after you've started the pills, correctly. I saw your other post and I don't know if the correct answer for that pill is 7 days or a month, but lets just say a month to be safe :D. Once you've been on it at least a month you're always protected no matter what time of the month you have sex. Just don't go longer then 7 days with placebos or without a pill. You are still protected at the beginning of each pack because you did not ovulate.

make sense? hope that helps
