Hi,
my doctor said that you should be ok after
a week but when you are just starting the
pill to use backup (like a condom) for the
first month, that way you can be 100%
sure.

Hey congrats.
Wow I remember my first time seems ages
ago now even though it was only really
about 2 years. Make sure you use a condom
anyway honey, then you can be totally
safe. ...Promise

You are not protected the full 98% for
three months. And that is three months
of taking it faithfully at the same exact
time every day. But, even after that
three months, if you do not want children
then you should definately use condoms
anyway. Congrats and make sure he is
worth it!!!
