A member asked:
Does day one start for birth control really protect you against pregnancy right away as it says on the package ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?????: I always advise my patients to complete a full cycle of birth control pills before trusting them completely. It is far better to use a back up method (condoms) for the first month. AAnd please DO remember that irth control pills do not protect against STIs.
