After taking at least 7 of the white (active) pills.  But waiting for 4 weeks would be more prudent.  Also, just because you are taking OCP's does not mean there is no risk of becoming pregnant.  There is a small risk if you take them perfectly as described (same time each day, etc.), and the risk increases if not taken 'perfectly'.  Also, does not protect against STD's.

if the intercourse performed is unsafe then woman can get pregnant otherwise not. therefore use any of these things: male condoms, female condoms, other precations etc. take good care and perform safe sex for 3to 4 days after periods.

Was this just last month? And did you get periods before you started taking it? And If you were sexually active in that one month have you taken a pregnancy test? One month usually doesn't do the trick for protecting yourself from pregnancy...Good luck.

When i had mine i just stayed away from sex like the day before. Good luck. Afterwards you will be instructed to not engage in sex for like 3 weeks.

The best time to start the pill is in the first 5 days of your period.  Starting off-cycle, like you propose, seems to make the side effects more pronounced, and may make you more inclined to spot.  \n\nPersonally I wouldn't suggest it, since you don't know what your reaction to the pill or to skipping your period will be.  Just personal experience... it's not a health risk.  If you already have a prescription for the pill, inside each packet is a little instruction sheet which tells you that brand's particular suggestions for starting the pill if you don't start it on the first day of your period.\n\nAnd FYI, if you go ahead and start the pill midcycle, you are NOT protected against pregnancy for at least the first week, so use backup contraception if you're having sex.

First, NEVER EVER HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE WITHOUT WEARING A CONDOM ! There are std's that don't have as noticeable affects in women as what it will in men. Considering this girl is already on birth control pills is a sure indication she has been sexually active already.Since she allowed you to have sex with her not wearing a condom ,safe bet others have had the same priveledge. How do you know she for sure she has not got hiv? You didn't think at the time you had sex that you would be worried about a std right now either did you? People lie, especially when it comes to sex . Don't you think if everybody told the truth about std's and hiv/aids that this problem would be well under control,if not completely extent? Next time wear a condom!! Not for her benefit but for your own safety. As to do you have a STD. Only a doctor will be able TO ANSWER THAT 100% , you should have been there 3 weeks ago. Some std's can make you sterile. If you are to embarrassed to go to the Dr. then call your local health department and see if they can't see you. If you are really worried then call the er at your local hospital and tell them your symptoms without giving your name. Hopefully all you have is a kidney infection. Next time you start to have sex make sure you use a condom! No matter what she may tell you. If your gonna do it be responsible. Good luck!!

Well, thats weird.  My doctor told me to take my pill starting on the day i start my period.  Go to your doctor and just ask him to explain it again to you and make sure you clearly understand.  Dont have sex if you are not sure you're taking it right!

Sperm is present in pre-ejaculatory fluid, so even if your partner didn't ejaculate you can still get pregnant. Anytime you have unprotected sex you are putting yourself at risk for pregnancy regardless of where you are in your cycle. Also, duration of sex has nothing to do with risk of pregnancy. You mentioned that your partner didn't use a condom with the second time you had sex because he had thrown it away--did you only have one condom? And, just to be clear condoms should only be used once, after you are done using a condom and/or after your partner ejaculates teh condom should be removed, thrown away and if you resume having sex you need a new condom. \nThe "morning after pill," or emergency contraception, is birth control that can be used after intercourse. It can not be used once someone is pregnant. If you are not planning a pregnancy, which it sounds like you are not, you would be wise to use emergency contraception. Emergency contraceptive pills, also known as Plan B, can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse. The sooner they are taken the more effective they will be. I'm not sure why you would want to "wait it out" as you say, but if you choose not you use emergency contraception and do get pregnant are you able and willing to handle that? I would encourage you to decide what you want to do sooner rather than later, as this is a time sensitive decision. Call your local family planning clinic if you need to Plan B or if you have questions. \nEmergency contraception works by postponing ovulation, so there is no egg for sperm to fertilize. Sperm live in a woman's reproductive tract on average for 5 days. Emergency contraception also works to make the uterine lining difficult for implantation and changes cervical mucous which make it harder for sperm to move around. Plan B is not yet available over the counter sale, you must get a prescription or go to your local family planning clinic. There are very few side effects, but as with any prescription drug side effects are always a possibility. \nplannedparenthood.org

In this case, you'd be strarting as if you never used the pill before. Usually the package has it all spelled out. You can start on the period, or you can start at random time BUT you'll HAVE to use a back-up method for that cycle. That means, paying for condoms. Might as well pay the full price for pills and do it right and not worry about it.

You should WAIT until you period comes BEFORE you take your birth control. Because birth control pills contains high levels of the female hormones estrogen and progestin, taking them before your period will cause you to not have a period - until you get to the placebo pills.\n\nThe placebo pills are those pills will little or no hormones. When the hormone level decreases, that allows for the women to have her period.\n\nIf you do not have a period within the next five (5) days, however, you should consult with your doctor or healthcare provider for a pregnancy test. You may also perform an over-the-counter pregnancy tests, but confirm the result with your doctor.\n\nHope this answers your question!

are you mad having unprotected sex?? there are tests on the market you can get which detect the ppregnancy hormone on the first day of your missed period. which would be 2 weeks after your unprotected sex, as you can normally only concive between day 12-16 of your cycle.day 1 being the first day of your period./

Yes you could still be pregant, even if your period started a week after the last time you had sex.  As others have stated, this CAN HAPPEN.  So your best bet is to get checked out by a gynecologist, regardless of what the home pregnancy test said.\n\nUnless you want to be re-visiting the gyenecologist once a month, you need to start using some reliable birth control.  And if you want to block STDs, you better use condoms, even if you're using another method of birth control.  Both STDs and sperm can be in the pre-cum that comes out of a man's penis long before he ejaculates, so that condom needs to be on from the beginning.  No riding bareback until you get close--I got a girl pregnant that way in college, so learn from my experience.

Some women conceive if they miss *one* pill.  Others are infertile for a full year (or, occasionally, forever) after taking the Pill.  Your doctor should have explained all of this to you when she/he gave you *each* prescription.\n\nYou haven't had a period in 5 years.  It may just be taking your body a while to get back into the habit.  (Bleeding while on the Pill is *not* a period; it is withdrawal bleeding--looks the same from the outside, but it is very different from the perspective of your body.)\n\nIf you *did* have unprotected sex on 29 May, it is *definitely* too early to test.  It can take up to 5 days *after* sex to actually get pregnant (the sperm can live that long until ovulation), then another week until the fertilized egg makes it to the uterus to start implanting.  Until implantation, the egg isn't attached to your body in any way, and, therefore, *can't* cause any physical changes (including hormonal).  It then takes at least a couple of days for the hormone levels to rise enough.\n\nThe *earliest* a test could possibly test positive is 7 June, and maybe not for another week or two, depending on a number of other factors.  In fact, independent research determined that for most tests, they are only *very* reliable a week after your missed period.  (If you got pregnant on 29 May, your period wouldn't have been due until 12-16 June.)\n\nPlease read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler.  It will answer all your questions.

If it's in the middle of your pack, then the likelihood of getting pregnant is VERY low. If it's at the beginning or end of your pack, the chances are higher. If you're more than 12 hours late in taking it and it's from the beginning or end of your pack, you should continue taking them as normal but use a condom for the next 7 days.
