How quickly is birth control effective?

Question

So I take my birth control pill around 10pm every night, and someone is coming over on Sunday night a little after 10. However I have not taken the sugar pills for this week where I got my period. And I’m supposed to start a new pack on Sunday. Should I take my pill earlier? Or is it effective right away? Should I have him wait?

Answer

The sugar pills are just for habit. If you’ve been on the pill for awhile your body is still under its spell until the next pack. Of course unless your skipping the colored active pills. I’m assuming I answered your question. You do not need to take the sugar ones as long as you start your next pack on time. Also like the other comment said two forms are an option too.

Answer

It should be effective by now but check your pamphlet. And you are still protected during the placebo pills as long as you took all your active pills correctly and on time

Answer

i think it takes like a month, also make sure you use two forms of bc.
