A member asked:

How soon after starting krimson 35 from day 2 of periods is it safe to have unprotected sex? do i wait for periods after 21 days to start new pack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If: If you started on day 2 of your cycle, then your pregnancy rate is low this cycle. However the majority of birth control pill failures occur around the time of a new start or change in method. The safest approach would be to wait until you're on the second pack.
