Started minastrin birth control the 22nd of june. when can i start having unprotected sex if you know what i mean. ?

Two weeks: In general you should wait about two weeks before relying only on the birth control pill for contraception. If you started the pill right after the menstrual cycle then it is effective faster.

Give it 2 weeks: From the time you started your pills. Please make sure you do not miss any pills, always also good to protect yourself against STDs
