Birth control questions

Unread post by dakota1 »

Hi. So i just started a new pack of bc pills. Yesterday i took the first one and today i had sex with my boyfriend (with a condom, btw). My question is, am i still covered? I mean, last week's pills were inactive and the first active pill i took was only yesterday, and i don't know if i'm still safe. Also i never missed a pill, but again, i had sex just after the inactive-pill week.

When you use the pill as directed, you have the same level of protection from pregnancy every single day of the cycle (after the time period when someone starts using it when they haven't been before, obviously).
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
