How long does it take?

Question

How long does the pill take to "kick in" and start actually help prevent pregnancy from the first day you take it?

Answer

Read *your* pill instructions. Mine said differently than what other people are posting so there's definitely variation!

Answer

Hope this helps :)

Answer

Depends when you take it and the pill... my pill says if you start the first day of your period your immediately protected if you take it the first sunday following the start of your period its a week but my doctor told me to wait a month to be extra safe but if you read your pamphlet it should say

Answer

You don't need a month. It might take a month for your body to get used to the hormones but you will be fully protected from pregnancy in 7-14 days after starting the pill. It should say it in the pamphlet that comes with the pill pack, I'd read it. It has a lot of important info and answers to questions.

Answer

I'd suggest using a condom for the first month or two just so your body can get used to it, if your body rejects the pill and reacts negetivitly to it you may end up falling pregnant.

Answer

Usually takes about 72 hours to kick in fully but it also depends on the birth control

Answer

I'm pretty sure they say within the first week or two, but I waited to do anything until a month in just to be safe and in case there were any complications and they needed to up my dose or something.
