How Long Throughtout the Period Does Birth Control Protect?
Posted: 09-16-07 19:19pm

Im freaking out again. My girlfriend stopped taking her pills last sunday! ( Or maybe Monday!!! OH NOES!!!!) Does birth control work the whole week of the period? Cause we had sex last night but i did not ejaculate inside of her vagina...this happened twice this week!! OH NOES!!! Please help me. Im so scared right now, i diddnt even think about that. Please help. How long is she protected? Wont the hormones stop working after a few days? Just like always when you miss pills? Please help me!!!

She stopped taking her pills, OR, she went on to the placebo week?

If she stopped taking them outright, then you have 4-6 days of protection I'd say. Technically you have 7, but I'd be wary about sex on the 7th day since she won't be taking a pill the next morning to put in more hormones again.

If she's just on the placebo week, chill out! She's totally safe.

yes. She started her new pack last night. She went and picked it up a day early because she said she wanted to ease my mind. But she started a new pack last night.

You crazy guy!!

Like I said, if she was just on her placebo week then you were safe! Just as safe as during the active pills.

During the placebo week, as long as a girl starts taking her new pills on time, she is totally protected.

Now you've gone and made her mess up her whole cycle by starting new pills before 7 non-pill days were up. Not a lot, she'll be fine. But now every month she's a Sunday start instead of a Monday start. It's her concern, not yours. Razz

But seriously! It's just the "off-week". She's still protected.

Im just scared because we had sex 2 times on her period when she wasnt to heavy .once friday, and once saturday. And then i realized it had been a WHILE since she took her pills. So im just totally scared right now.

You have NO reason to be scared. Pills lighten a girl's period, that's normal!

Besides, if you had somehow magically impregnated her during those two sex acts, it wouldn't have affected the period she was currently on. The female body doesn't work that way lol.
