Am I Still Covered ? Can I have sex ? Posted: 04-21-04 10:44am
I was wondering if when u take the sugar
pills are u suppose to get ur period when
u take the first pill? Or will it start
on like the 3rd sugar pill or somethhin
like that. Also if my period doesnt
start after I take the first sugar pill.
Will I still be ok to have sex since im
not taking any hormones at the time? And
also will be continue to be covered once I
take the hormone pills again or do I have
to still wait a week or what not?
Thanks

Hey there kails
how long have you been on the pill (i'm
guessing this is your first cycle)? Your
period will probably start in the next day
or two (my first time on the pill it
didn't start til the 3rd or 4th day of
sugar pills). And so long as you finish
the sugar pills and go on to the next pack
right when you're supposed to, you're
"covered" by the pills. The sugar pills
are set up be non-hormonal in order to
induce menstruation this doesn't mean that
during this time you're necessarily
"uncovered." mind you, like I said before
it's important that you continue with the
next pack.

Yes, the above post is correct. The
"sugar pills" are blanks and you do not
even have to take them. You get your
period because you are not taking the
hormones that are in the other pills.
You still need to use a back up method to
be 100% covered, but you are still
"covered" on the "sugar pills"
