A member asked:
What happens if you have sex within those 7 days of starting birthcontrol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: That depends on where you were in your cylce when you started the pill. If you are having your period and start the pill you are protected from the beginning - otherwise it may take up to two weeks for the pill to prevent pregnancy. Many women will have some spotting for a while after starting the pill. Be patient it usually stops by three or four cycles of the pill.
