How long after taking tri-lynah birth control am i protected ??

Varies: Most docs will recommend a backup BC for the first month while your body gets used to the pill. Some pharmaceutical companies say their product is effective within 2 wks. I tend to believe in having a backup if there is any possibility of failure.
