Am I still protected if I missed a BC pill last month and had sex during the first week of my new pack?

So last month, I think about a week and a half before I started the placebo pills, I missed a pill and took it like 4 hours later. I didn't have sex for the rest of the month, got my period like normal, and it ended today. I took the first pill in my new pack this morning, and had sex tonight. Should I be safe? I used a condom just to be certain. thanks!

    I don't see why you would not be safe. You made sure you took the missed pill and on top of that you sound as if you have been very cautious:) Having back up birthcontrol is always a good thing when your in doubt. All should be just fine. Best of luck!
