A member asked:

Got paragard out. started combination bc 1wk ago. just finished 1 wk flagyl. will i be protected against pregnancy in 2 wks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not fully protected: Full protection from getting pregnant after starting to take birth control pills is typically not achieved during the first but during the second cycle. A backup method during the first cycle is recommended.
