How long after starting sprintec should i wait to have sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pack number 2: If you use condoms, you don't have to wait at all. If you don't want to use condoms, then wait until you start your second pack of pills to get the maximum protection. 90% of pregnancies that happen on the birth control pill happen during the first pack. Even so, the number is relatively small. If you are at all concerned about stds, keep using condoms. The pills don't help prevent any STDs at all.
