A member asked:
If i have been on birth control for 2 weeks on time and had unprotected sex today for the first time will i be fine ? do i need to take emergency contraceptive?

Basics: Some BC pill makers would say you are protected. Many OBGYNS advise backup for the 1st month. I would use emergency BC within 72 hrs of exposure to be sure.
