Its a big problem. What is wrong is you're supposed to take them with your cycle, not backwards. You start with the active pills, and you follow the arrows or its not working right. You had times you weren't protected. These pills come with instructions and packs to show you how to take them. Its important you follow them. Start with the first active pill and follow the arrows. Use a condom for the first week, because this will be like you are just starting the pill, since last month was a disaster.
