If today was the first day you took the pill in 6 months, I wouldn't rely on it to work. It usually takes about a week or two (taken consistantly each day) to ensure it's full effectiveness. I was actually told to wait a month to be on the safe side. & I don't think the pills expire that quickly. If you didn't use a condom, you might want to get the morning after pill to be on the safe side. When it comes to those kinds of situations, I wouldn't take the risk. Next time, use the pill & the condom, that way if one fails.. you have the other method of protection to back it up.

Since you haven't taken them in 6 months, they aren't doing you any good, I'm afraid to say.
I don't know what you're taking, but I know since you've gone so long without them your best bet would be to go to the doctor and start over the whole process.
That's the only way I know for fact that your birth control will be as safe and affective as it claims to be.
Just be sure that when you do start over, try not to ever miss or skip doses.

I'd love to put your mind to rest but I don't think it was exactly safe so I can't. :(
Usually to be safe on the pill you need to take them for 30 days before you have unprotected sex. So even if the 6 month old pill is still good it probably wasn't effective.
Lets hope for the best this time. But you definitely need to take them regularly if you want them to work. :)
