A member asked:
I started loestrin 21 same day mirena was removed. if i abstain for 30 days will i be protected from pregnancy by the next pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be: Many such pills include promotional material suggesting they work within 2 weeks. However a lot of OBGYN's suggest a backup for the first month. If abstinence is your plan, your body will surely be ready for the pill to work a month after starting.
