Protection during the placebo week Posted: 02-17-08 21:29pm
Okay, My girlfriend has been on the pill
for months now and im just wondering after
her period and starting a new pack how
long does it take for the pill to be
effective again? Can we have unprotected
sex the day she starts her pill back up or
does it take a couple days?

She is completely effective during the
week of her period too. She is 99%
protected 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
There is no time when she isn't protected
as long as she is taking the pill on time
every day as prescribed.
