I started birth control last Sunday and have been taking it as prescribed. Should I be safe to have sex?

Question

Answer

I was told birth control wasn't completely effective until after 3 months of use! It's also wise to ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use a barrier method.

Answer

I started mine the same time. I know that all birthcontrols are different, but this is just what mine says. Read your information and instructions that come with it.

Answer

Doctor's always recommend using alternative use of birth control (condoms, etc) when first starting. Be safe girl!

Answer

Unless your using a back up method! But inprotected sex, no way!

Answer

Most doctors recommend that for the first month you should use protection or spermicide to be as safe as possible

Answer

NO!! Some say to wait just a week but you should really wait a month so your body gets really used to the hormones.

Answer

Yes as long as you have a back up method.

Answer

I read 2 months

Answer

You should read the instructions on your birth control. The kind I take says you have to take it for a week regularly for it to be fully affective. It really just depends on what kind you're taking.

Answer

Wait a month! That's the best solution. The week is nothing, I don't consider that completely preventable.
