how soon can you have sex after birth control pills
A: You will be protected from getting pregnant after 7 days of consistent use of birth control pills. Consistent use means that youâre taking the pill every day at the same time (plus or minus 2 hours). So basically, one week of birth control pills is enough to put the ovaries to sleep and keep you from getting pregnant. However, having the phrases âprotected sexâ and âwithout using another form of birth controlâ in the same sentence makes us a little nervous. We can not stress enough that birth control pills (or patches or shots or IUDâs) only protect you from getting pregnant.
