Contraceptive pill as i'm taking femilon 21 days contraceptive pill, started from sept and last pill was taken on 30 sept. My menses came on 5th october, and I started 2nd pack of femilon on 10th october (my menses 5th day). Do I need to again use condom for 7 days as I did for 1st pack? As there is a gap of 10 days in between 1st pack and 2nd pack, am I protected? As per pill instructions gap shouldn't be more than 7 days but in my case it's 10 days, if I do unprotected sex on 10 october there is a chance of pregnancy?

You should use condom for 1st 7 days or if you don't want to that start tablet from 1st day of menses. Chances of pregnancy though very less can't be ignored.
