Yes: Any birth control pill should be used for a full month before it can be counted on to prevent pregnancy.

Yes: I recommend patients use alternative birth control such as condoms and spermicidal jelly or foam until they complete an entire cycle of birth control pills, because pregnancy is theoretically possible until your ovulation is completely suppressed by the pills. Good luck!
