Ok so I started the pill for the first time on sunday 11th may (the day I got my period, around 7 hrs later), I have been taking it at the same time every day and had unprotected sex 6 days later, now I'm worried that the pill isnt working or something since its the first cycle! Also, i've had some diarrhoea twice, but both times over 12 hrs after I took the pill. pls put my mind at rest! thx!
It's possible you could be pregnant though it's fairly unlikely since you have been taking the pill at the same time every day.
For those that are new to the pill, an alternate form of birth control should be used for the first month along with your regular pill. i.e. a condom.
It takes a complete month of birth control with added protection for the body to adjust to the new hormones that the pill introduces.
Having sex 6 days after your last period still makes you safe. Ovulation occurs about 2 weeks before your anticapated cycle. (period)
Without ovulation there can be no pregnancy.
You may have the "runs" because you may be nervous about this pregnancy thing. Just relax. But, in the meantime, use a condom with the pill.
