A member asked:

Started taking new birth control pills the day i was supposed to start a new pack and havent missed any am i protected as a contraceptive right away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clarify: If you have already been on Birth control pills, then switching to a new pack, yes, you are protected right away. But, if this is your first pack ever or a first pack after some break then you will need to use back up method for 2 weeks to be completely protected. Good Luck.
