On 2nd pack of pill..this time started on 2nd day of period..safe already?

During the period: I certainly expect so. The second cycle of OCP's we generally say is sorta kind of safe. Third to be really safe. BUT they have an appreciable failure rate. http://www.nerdpocalypse.net/fertility%20calculator.html

Pregnancy is: unlikely but possible. Take a pregnancy test if you miss your period.

Should be safe: but can use condoms as a back up measure. Condoms can also protect you from STD's whereas BCP's do not protect you from STD's
