Is birth control effective after the 6th pill has been taken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: If you are referring to oral contraception or other forms (depo-provera, vaginal rings), then these forms are not likely preventative in such a short time. Barrier forms such as condoms are the most reliable in this time frame but always recommended even when using other methods.
