When can I start having unprotected sex while on the pill?

Olivia • LB CA

I started the combination pill a little over a week ago, but slipped up 5 days ago and took it about 1h 30min late😬. I’ve been taking it consistently since then though. I really want to start having sex w/o a condom with my boyfriend, is it too soon to start? How long does it take for your body to adjust to the pill and for it to take effect? I’m really not looking to get pregnant!!!
