A member asked:
I've been taking a birth control pill, this is my second month: is the pill efective? can i have unprotected sex and not worry about pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: You are protected after one week of starting oral contraceptives IF you have been taking them properly. Remember that this is birth control and not STI protection and a condom would be recommended.
