A member asked:
Is a week on the active pills really long enough to prevent one from getting pregnant? gyno said i only needed backup for 7 days and then i'm good?

Trust your Doctor: I always say two weeks, but your gynecologist would not lead you astray. If in any way you are going to worry then wait for unprotected intercourse till two weeks.
