A member asked:
Stopped birth control for 2 weeks can i start again before my period and be protected within a week ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basics: Some pill makers suggest protection starts a week or two after starting. Many OBGYNs suggest you wait a month until your body is accustomed to the pill to rely on it alone.
