Unprotected sex while starting a new birth control

Unread post by SpaceBabe »

Hi, I just ended my period on the 4th and i started trinessa lo on the 5th. I had unprotected sex (i believe he came in me) on the 6th. I ovulate next week and I never took a plan b. Im just wondering if the birth control will have kicked in by then or is it really just a 50/50 chance im pregnant at this point?

Hi Spacebabe,

It takes at least a week for the pill to reach fill effectiveness, although most sources (including us) recommend waiting a full pack before engaging in unprotected sex. So, given the timeline you describe, you did not have full protection from the pill
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
