A member asked:

Now have to stop bc pill. how long after unprotected sex can i stop it without risk of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on med: Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, I think we need some more information. Many oral contraceptives lose their effect even after missing just one dose! Make sure you use an alternative birth control method during this time.
