Quick Question Posted: 07-16-07 16:50pm
Hi all,
First off, I know there is always a chance
of pregnancy when on a birthcontrol pill,
that is why my boyfriend and I usually use
a condom with the bc pill.
Having said that, i recently changed birth
controls to be able to get it cheaper at
college. I had started my new pack and had
been on it for 12 or so days when my boy
friend and i had sex w/out a condom and he
did his business inside me. Is there less
of a chance of the new birthcontrol
working b/c i had been on it for almost 2
weeks? I am supposed to start my period
tommorow (tuesday the 16th, well thats
what it was on my old bc) Can my period
start differently on a new birthcontrol as
well? any input from any of you would be
great! Thanks

You have been on it for 12 days, and you
need only 7 days for it to be effective,
so it is okay.
You most likely will get your period when
this new pack has the placebo pills. The
hormones control your cycle.

sara- did u have a break between your old
pill and the new pill??? because if you
did, just so you know, and i know my gyno
has told me, that do not depend on the
pill the first month to protect against
pregancy. but this was also with a 3 month
break in the pill. you might want to
contact your gyno regarding this..it takes
the pill a full pack to be effective. so
if u had a break i would use a condom for
the first month of the new pill

No, I did not take a break inbetween the
pills, I went from the old stuff right to
the new stuff, so it must have been just
as effective.
I did start my period on time so
everything is great. Thanks for all your
help everyone
