Okay, I have a question about birth control (you probably figured that out already) but not about taking it or anything like that... but how does it work... Like, how come you have to take it everyday and if you miss more than one pill you have to use protection but then you don't take it for a week (to have your period) and yet you can have unprotected sex safely? I just.. don't.. understand! I was going to just wait and ask my doctor, but I just moved and don't have one and won't need one until probably September and this has been really making me wonder lately... You'd think I'd know this already cause I've been on it for so long, but it just never occurred to me until recently...

Thanks everyone! I feel better asking, lol, however silly/dumb it makes me sound!
