A member asked:
I started my linessa 28 (combo birth control) mid cycle and had unprotected sex 1.5 wks later. is there a chance of pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Birth control pills can be started at any time during the month. After 7 days, you should be protected from pregnancy. Based on the timing you describe, you likely would have been outside of your fertile window if your periods are normally regular in occurrence.
