I was recently put back on b.c. via dr. orders, and hubby is due to come back from iraq. I was wondering if me being on the b.c. 1-2 weeks was effective as it was when i was continuously on it for 2-3yrs. My drs. office has a 4-5 day turn around for phone calls, so I will get the answer late. thanks to any that know, and yes, we are planning to use 'back up ' just incase!
If i just recently re-started birthcontrol, how long should i wait to have sex again?
When started within 6 days of the start of a period The Pill is effective immediately. If the Pill is started at other times, it will be effective after one month.
Good luck with the hubby.. Don't wear him out in the first day..
My husband is leaving for Iraq in 10 days...
Reply:Ive always been told to use protection until you finish the new pack. Except for the one time I went to a military hospital and they didnt tell me anything!! lol
Reply:1 full cycle on the pill and you should be fine.
Reply:The pill reaches effective levels in your blood when you have had an active pill each day for seven days in a row. (Doesn't matter how long you've been on it before, or how long you were off it.) So you are protected after taking it for at least a full week. If you start it on day 1-5 for your period then you are protected immediately. American doctors will often tell you to wait a whole cycle, but that's just because they don't want to be sued.
