A member asked:
What number of days after unprotected sex can you stop taking birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Going off the pill : The question I would ask yourself is why? Especially if you had sex once and without an condom. The sperm doesn't live for over 24-48 hours but what about staying on the pill for the NEXT TIME?
