How many of the active pills do you have to take when starting a new pack to be able to have unprotected sex again?
You will remain protected from pregnancy even through your placebo week, if you take your active birth control pills everyday at the same time(including being on birth control for 2 months.In other words, if you take your birth control everyday at the same time, you will consistently be protected from pregnancy.
Does the birth control yaz contain all active pills?

Are you still protected in the week you have off from taking the contraception pill?
Yes you will still be protected during the placebo pills week as long you took your pills everyday at the same thorughout active pills. Be sure that you have been on birth control for at least 3 months before you attempt to do so.
Can you switch the day you start your birth control pills?
Yes, you can. To change the day you start your birth control pills, you will cut short your placebo/sugar pill week or pill free week. For instance, if you normally start the new pack on Sunday and want to start on Wednesday, you'll take your placebo pills on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, discard the old pack, and start the new pack on Wednesday. As long as you don't go more than seven days without an active pill, you will have no interruption in protection.
Is nicotine patch and placebo the same?
No. A placebo is in a way a "fake medication", a pill without the active ingredient. Often used in clinical trials for the "control group", to avoid psychological bias. A nicotine patch does have an active ingredient (the nicotine), and is used to gradually wean people of smoking.
If you don't get your period on the placebo week are you still protected and should you start a new pack?

Can you get pregnant during the placebo week?
If you took the active BCP as directed you do not have to worry about pregnancy during the week of placebo pills.
Are you not supposed to get a period while on the pill?
You should still get a period each month while on birth control. You will usually start your period during the week that you take your placebo pills, because they have no hormones in them. If you skip the placebo pills and start your active pills instead, this will delay your period.
Can you make your menstrual come by taking the placebo pill if you never been on birth control?
No, the placebo pills are exactly that, placebo. (just sugar pills). It would be like expecting a tic tac to bring on your menstrual cycle. If you are on the pill, the placebo pills will start your cycle because they have no active ingredients. If you think you are pregnant and want your period to come, go to a doctor/do a pregnancy test or take the morning after pill if it's not too late.
I been on BC for two months on my second month i took all pills until i got to the sugar pills i took two of them sugar pills and didn't finish the last 3 pills sugar pills on the second suga?
You do not have to take the sugar/placebo pills if you feel comfortable doing so, and if you will not forget to start your birth control on the correct day, and if you will not forget what time you are supposed to take your birth control. It doesn't make a difference on how many sugar/placebo pills you take because they do not contain any active hormone ingredients. You are still protected from pregnancy during your placebo week if you take your birth control every day at the same time, and if you have been on birth control for at least 2 months. To be on the safe side wait 3 months, that is personally how long I waited.
When you skip red pills do you get pregnant?
