A member asked:
Can you prevent being pregnant if you regularly take oral contraceptive pills after having unprotected sex? if so, when will you stop taking it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: Yes birth control does prevent pregnancy when having unprotected sex. It depends on how long you have been taking the birth control pills, have you been taking them around the same time everyday consistently, it also depends what type of birth control you are taking. I would talk to a doctor to decide which one works best for you.
