A member asked:

I'm on birth control pills, and i got off my period about 3 days ago and had sex yesterday. so i shouldn't be ovulating. he came in me. am i safe? or?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you are taking the pills correctly you have an approx 99% protection rate from pregnancy. The only thing that is 100% is never having sex. Birth control pills offer no protection from STD's.
