Please use protectio: I assume you are asking if your birth control is currently effective. If you have taken your Birth control pills on time everyday without missing days. Then you should be covered. Birth control pills require 7 full days of active medication during the start of your cycle in order to work. But you should still use protection (condoms) in order to protect against STDs.
