A member asked:
Does trinessa (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol) stop ovulation? does having sex while on the pill count as unprotected sex, especially during part of the month you would be ovulating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost always: Nothing is fool proof including birth control pills to stop ovulation. Technically unprotected sex while on the pill is protected, but not from the transmission of sexually transmitted infections.
