A member asked:
After how long is the birth control pill effective and can having a 23-25 day cycle affect its effectiveness
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Daily use effective: The oral contraceptive pill is very effective when use daily at the same time each day. Once the end of the pack occurs the "period" is withdrawal bleeding designed to let you know when to start the next pack does not change the effectiveness if it is a 25 day cycle. Some women take the pill continuously to avoid the withdrawal bleeding phase.
