A member asked:
I'm taking femme tab ed 20/100 but i started the active pills 5 days after my period. is this okay? roughly how long will it be before its effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral bcps/starting: If you took the active pills "five days after (your) period ended, it will not be effective to protect against pregnancy. If you started "five days after (your) period started, the oral bcp's are effective. Make sure to take the active pills within the hour of the previous day, and in the evening.
