the saying "you should have safe sex after a week of pills" is correct. it is only applied if it was your first pack of pills. but if it was your 2nd or 3rd time around, you are safe, getting pregnant is low.

First of all, coming on here and asking questions to a bunch of strangers about what will or will not keep you from getting pregnant is not a really good idea. There are some very informative and much more reliable sources of information you can find: call your doctor; find a reputable Web site staffed with doctors; go to the library and read a book; talk to your school's nurse; or find your area's public health department and call them. There are a lot of ways to get real information.
Understanding how the human body ovulates, the range of times that ovulation can happen, etc., can really benefit you.
Some women even ovulate as soon as they are finished with their period. But even if you have sex during your period, just know that sperm can stay alive inside you for up to 5 days. So if you ovulate early that month, the sperm may still be alive and can get you pregnant. Don't believe that you are not one of those women who ovulate early. Every month can be different for a variety of reasons.
The "pull-out" method of contraception is not really contraception. This is because small amounts of semen can (and regularly do) come out even before a male fully ejaculates. This is from experience: I am a father of 6 wonderful kids. Even if the guy guarantees to you that he didn't come inside of you, don't believe it. He doesn't even feel it when that little bit of semen comes out. So if you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex unprotected. Period.
To all of you beautiful young women: I wish all of you well. It breaks my heart hearing so many of you without a proper understanding of human sexuality. Having a family at the right time and with the right person who respects you enough to control himself is such a wonderful blessing. Getting pregnant when you are not prepared can be something that brings you a good deal of unnecessary misery. You are a precious, precious person. Your potential is god-like. Guard your potential with your life! Showing restraint and self-control (in anything) builds character and dignity in both you and your future husband, and it is one of the things that can ensure that your marriage lasts for eternity. Build that guy into the kind of man you deserve. If he can't pass the test of waiting, then maybe he isn't the right person for you at this stage in his life.
I hope that doesn't sound preachy or condescending. I've just seen a lot of relationships end because the newness wears off and the two individuals haven't built the kind of self-control that ensures they will stick to their duty to love each other selflessly. You are WORTH that kind of relationship.

I was just wondering what happened with this? I went trough the same thing last night. Thanks
I just started using birth control pills on a wednesday and I had sex on a Saturday 4 days after i started taking the pill. my doctor told me to wait 7 days before having sex or use condoms. I now we were using condoms when we had sex but I think he reused the same one after a couple minuets. Should I take the morning after pill, I know he didn't cum in me and know he should have used a new one before having sex again but should I take the morning after pill?
