when am i protected?

Question

I started Loestrin Fe on sunday, (3 days ago for anyone with a diff time setting/thing i hope yk what i mean) and that was the first day of my period... when can i start having sex, preferably without a condom (“raw”) because my boyfriend and i have never had good experience with it?

Answer

If u started it the first day of ur period then it’s effective immediately.

Answer

If you start it on the first day of your period then it's effective immediately and it will protect you from pregnancy as soon as you start taking it. If you start any other time, then it takes 7 days to become effective. If you mess up and miss a pill or take any pills late, then you should also use backup birth control, such as a condom, for the next 7 days if you have sex.
And remember that birth control pills do not protect you from STDs.
