Birth control - how long before sex ? Posted: 03-15-08 15:51pm


Could you possibly tell me when it should be necessary when to start birth control BEFORE having sex? Weeks? Months?

Well if you start birthcontrol the first day of your period your usualy protected right off, but if you start after your period i beleave you have to use other forms of protection for a week.

I think most birthcontrols say to use a back up birth conrol(condoms) for the first week or two weeks. Read in the directions to your birth control to double check
