Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

2 weeks: If you started birth control pills 2 weeks after your period instead of the Sunday after your period then ovulation could potentially have occurred. Typically with starting this late we would recommend two weeks of use before having unprotected intercourse.
