A member asked:
If i started on my birth control pill again today after i had my period for 5 days, will i be safe to engage in protected sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protected ~ no preg.: Protected sex means almost no chance of pregnancy if one uses the protection correctly, regardless of what else is going on in the world. There are accurate no ways to predict the future for an individual person (life doesn't work that way). If worried, a home urine pregnancy test is very reliable at about 3 weeks after sex, or a week after missing an expected regular period.
