So you can technically get pregnant at any time of the month, so why throw in a couple placebo pills? What do they do exactly, and can you get pregnant during that week of taking them?

I asked my doctor this a few months ago! You can, in my country at least, opt to get ones without placebos, but most have them. The idea is that birth control via tablet is only this extremely safe and effective method of adhered to VERY strictly. If you take them an hour or two out, etc, or skip days accidentally, the chance of failure increases. The placebos are so that people can maintain the habit of taking a tablet at the same time. Apparently, his words, it improves the % of people taking them properly and reduces the number of failures. ☺️
