Do i have to use protection while on inactive birth control pills? i'm taking lutera.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As : As long as you take your active pills correctly (every day at the same time every day), you have a less than 1% chance of becoming pregnant during any part of your cycle (including during the inactive pill week). You do not need any additional methods of protection to prevent pregnancy, however, condoms are the only way to protect yourself against sexually transmitted diseases.
