A member asked:
Can i start yaz generic in the middle of my cycle? i would like to be protected as soon as possible (i know it takes 7-14 days)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. You can: You may begin Yaz as soon as you get it or whenever you want to. ..and take additional protection with condoms. Keep a supply of “Emergency postcoital contraceptives” too. Remember that (if you really want to reduce your risks of getting pregnant) the most effective contraception methods are the intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the subdermal contraceptive implants , not contraceptive pills.
