[|Human|] Hello, I forgot to ask the doctor. but I am just starting birthcontrol for the first time in my life (Minesse) and i started it the day I woke up and had my period, so it has been 4 days now. the package said after 7 days I will be protected. Is this reliable? So if after 7 days I have sex and he doesn t pull out, is there need to worry? thanks
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for asking Chat Doctor. You probably did not get it right. These pills are supposed to be taken everyday beginning from the first day of menses without interruption. But if you were on a different birth control method (e.g. Norplant, or injectable forms) or you just put to birth, it would be advisable to take the pills in association with another method of birth control (like condom, spermicides, etc.) within the first 7 days. In regard to your own case, you just have to be taking your pills on a daily basis. You do not need to worry about the first 7 days. I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you. I wish you good health
