My gf hasn't been on birth control in months. we're seeing each other in 7 days and want to have sex w/o a condom. will it work if she starts today?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: Depends on what birth control, but usually after seven days it should be effective. We recommend condoms for STI protection, not just for birth control.
