Is my gf still protected during the 7 days break of belara?gp said to use backup despite the fact that on the leaflet it states that you are protected
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always protected: A woman who is properly taking her birth control pills, and is beyond her first pack of pills, has contraceptive protection ALL the time, regardless of where she is in her pill pack. Condoms can be used to help prevent diseases, and may decrease vaginal odor or discharge (by not having disintegrating sperm/semen hang around inside her vagina). Belara is a combination pill which prevents ovulation.
