If you stop taking birth control pills while taking the placebo pills, are you protected from getting pregnant?

There is no official information regarding the risk of pregnancy in the situation described above. According to some sources, the life span of sperm in the genital tract in extreme cases can be up to 5 days (usually 24-48 hours), therefore the risk of getting pregnant in the described situation cannot be excluded. The termination of taking the tablets in this case can be treated analogously to the situation when the active tablet was omitted in the first days of the new cycle, i.e. according to the information contained in the leaflet of Axia Conti tablets, if within 7 days preceding the day on which you would start the new package there was unprotected intercourse, there is a probability of becoming pregnant. It is safest in this situation for the last 7 days of using the pills and for the first 7 days after the end of their use, during intercourse to use a mechanical method of contraception.
