A member asked:
Is it safe to start the pill (rigevidon) the day before ovulation? is it also safe to have started the pill in late jan, stop after 5 weeks, and resume now for a month, stop in june and resume for july? not sexually active outside when stopping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intermittent use of oral bcp's is not an effective use for contraception, since ovulation can still occur. If the oral bcp's are started within a few days of the start of menstruation, and taken punctually , within the hour of the prior day's active pill, oral bcp provides over 95% effective contraception.

Currently taking the combined pill & taking for an extra week (delaying withdrawal bleed), as I'll be sexually active. When is it safe to take the pill break after sex if he ejaculates in you? Can sperm live in you long enough if I stop the next day?
