Missed Many Sprintec Pills

I missed my pills starting Sunday (1/22/12). I ended my period on 1/23/12 or 1/24/12. I had unprotected sex on the 24th. I have to wait until Monday (1/30/12) to get a new pack. Am I in trouble? Should I start on the first week when I get the new pack?

If you missed active tablets, then you should consult your doctor for a pregnancy test, before continuing to take any tablets.

However, if you only missed the inactive tablets of your menstruation week, then you should continue with the next pack, as normal. However, if you are going to have a break of a few days, in between, then you will need to take them for 7 days, in a row, without missing any, before you will be protected against pregnancy.
