Birth control pills?
Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2014 3:36 pm
My girlfriend wanted me to ask a question for her, she started birth control during the week on the first day of her cycle. Her period was finished last night and we had unprotected sex because her doctor and the pill instructions said that if you start from day one of the cycle you are protected straight away. She takes the pill at 7pm but one day took it at 6:30pm and one day forgot and remembered at around 8:30pm. Obviously it will take a while to get used to taking it and she does set an alarm now but she wanted to know if she was still protected giving the fact it was almost 2 hours after she normally would take it, what is the time window on either side of taking the pill that would still give us full protection or in better words, perfect use of the pill?
