If i started taking sprintec on the 4th day of my cycle , still on my period, would i have been protected 7 days after that? i have heard alot of different things and i'm confused ?

"Sprintech" is a combination oral bcp, and starting on the fourth day of menses, contraception is working at a 97% effectiveness. Take your oral bcp's within the same hour of the prior day's active pill, and start the next pack the day after the placebo pills end.
