A member asked:
I started my period last tuesday and than started my birth control saturday after seven days am i protected against pregnancy?

Not fully: You are not fully protected.We normally tell patients to always use extra protection through the first month of being on birth control. Remember as well that birth control pills although effective have never been 100% effective against pregnancy. Remember also to always protect yourself against sexually transmitted diseases by using a condom
