A member asked:
Been on bc pills for a few years.after having my period(placebo week)do i need to use condoms as back up the first week of new pack, or not necessary?

Consistent : If you take your pills on time, every day, then you have a 2 percent chance of pregnancy. Condom use can reduce that risk even mor. And, pills don't stop STDs so condoms help with that as well
