First off, I know that Birth Control can not stop me from getting any STI's but non the less I would still like to be able to have unprotected sex on Birth Control.
I started MinOrval 28 oral contraceptives Saturday March 11(6 pills ago, it is now March 16th and I took my pill today). I am due to get my period this coming Saturday (18th) and I had a question. My nurse told me that after 2 weeks I could have unprotected sex, if I wished, with 99.9% effectiveness.
So what I'm wondering is if I get my period can I still have unprotected sex with my SO on the 25th (2 weeks after I started the pill) with no(to very little) chance of pregnancy?
