You need to take The Pill every day to be protected from pregnancy. If you skip some pills you need to use "back up" protection such as condoms.
The Pill is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy when used daily as directed, this protection drops to 90% or less when pills are skipped. If you continue skipping pills you may want to discuss another method of Birth Control with your doctor, the Patch and NuvaRing only needs to be replaced once a week, this may work better for you.
