NO, VERY UNTRUE..

AS PILL PACKS SAY.. IF you start them on your period you are protected immediately, any other time, and you need back-up for 7 full days..

I am a healthcare pro, and work for planned aprenthood =) I promise, I do know..[/quote


So if I take my first pill ever of birth controle while I have my period I will automaticly be protected and can have sex whithout a condom if I chose? But if I start it while my period is gone I will have to wait 7 full fuss before having sex without a condom agin if I chose? And also does this work with any kind of birth controle or just certain kinds?

I take birth control pills regularly. I have been on them for three years. Is it safe to have sex the first night of taking the pill after my period (or the first your new pack)?

You dont need to use condoms when you're on birth control. Whats the point of putting you're body through that if you're still going to use condoms? No BC including condoms is 100% but i know a ton of girls that only use BC including myself and they nor I have ever gotten pregnant. As long as you use your BC according to the instructions you'll be find stop being paranoid.

I wanna know the answer to this too. I just started the pill this month and I started the pill on the first day of my period. It has been 10 days since i started the pill. I usally take the pill at 11. For the first two days I took the pill at 11 but on the third day i took it at 12:09. After that, i rmbed to take it at 11. Today my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he came in me. Is it possible that I'm pregnant??

I have been taking my pills for 2 years. I have taken a few days off because I was ill and wanted nothing foreign in me. My period is in its last day, or day before last and I want to start taking my pill again, starting a new cycle in them. How long should I wait before i can have unprotected sex with my partner?

I've almost finished my first pack of loestrin 24 fe and I've taken them everyday without missing one at 11 on everyday. I had unprotected sex last night with my fiancé. Should I worry about taking plan b or will I be ok? My pack says as long as I wait 7-10 days I will be fine and it's been 20 days.

So if i started the day after my period ended, am I still protected immediately?

Gravitational pull? Lol even if you are in top, you can get pregnant. I don't think everyone reads all the comments. The pill protects you immediately if you start it when you are on your period. That goes for any type of pill. If you start it another day, you must wait about a week.
