I know you're in Canada, not the US, but I'm on HBC and I'm on my last available pack. I have tons of new, unopened packs, but because of my living situation, I won't have access to them until 3 days after I am supposed to start a new pack. I want to be sexually active during this time. Should I go to Planned Parenthood and wait hours just to get one pack of birth control, or do you think it will be okay? Are there any other options? Thanks Kate, you rock.

That’s not good. Either you should go to PP and get a new pack so you can start on time, or you should start when you’re able and make sure to use a backup form of protection (e.g. condoms) for at least a few weeks.
