[|Human|] Hello I m an 18 year old who just started having sex and started birth control just two months ago.. and I was wondering if I was a sunday starter and I m on the last active pill.. Is it possible to take the sugar pills and then when my period comes, start the next pack of pills?? Another question is: If I took the last bc pill and then had sex after, would I be safe from pregnancy for that day??
[|AI|]  Hello dear, i understand your concern. The birth control pills are effective of all the methods of contraception if taken correctly. You need to take 21 active pills and take sugar pills for 7 days during which you get the period. Immediately after the end of sugar pills you need to start the new pack on next day but not related to periods. Yes you will be protected if you take last birth control pill and have sex after. The failure rate is very less of all methods provided they are taken correctly. But they are also associated with side effects like nausea, weight gain, headache etc. All the instructions of intake are provided with the pack and if still doubtful then contact your doctor. Best regards.
