No it will not. However it may help prevent urinary tract infections.

Because you took your non active pills instead of the active pills this has basically interfered with birth control protecting you against pregnancy and has also messed up your cycle. You must ALWAYS take birth control as prescribed. You need to use a condom for the next 4 weeks to prevent pregnancy and take your birth control as normal.

The condom will still work inside-out, but the added protection of any spermacidal coating would have been out of place for a while. Still, risk of pregnancy should be minimal. Don't double-dose on your birth control pills. Now you will be one short tis cycle.You need and extra one at the end now. Breaking the chain of the cycle will make you more vulnerable, and the double-dosing was totally unecessary . Please discuss this with your Women's Health provider.
