A member asked:
Should i be worried, i had unprotected sex about 7 days after starting the pill lutera (also started the first day)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: The birth control pill is very effective, if utilized correctly. If you take it everyday at the same time and you're not on any of the medications that can interfere with it's efficacy, then the pill is usually over 95% effective. Additionally, on day 7 of your cycle you should not be ovulating, so take a deep breath and relax. You should be fine.
