A member asked:
Is it safe to have sex on the last week of my birth control --the inactive pills-- for the few days before my period starts? or is backup needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth Control: Once you are on and taking your birth control as prescribed it is safe to be sexual. You do not need back up.
