is it safe to have sex during rest period (7 days) of taking pills? i'm on my 5th month of taking oral contraceptives. and is it safe to have unprotected sex on the the following 7 days after starting my 6th pack. because in the drug literature of the pill it is written that you should have other protections during the 1st 7 days of taking the pills.. is it the same on the following months although i'm going to be on my 6th month? thanks!
