When Am I Safe? Posted: 10-02-03 21:26pm
I was on the pill (alesse) for 6 months
and I was off it for two months because I
kept putting off getting my prescription
renewed... I just started back on the
pill 5 days ago and I remember my doctor
saying something about it being effective
after a month. Is this right? Or is it
sooner or later? My guess is a month at
the earliest but i'm not too sure... Let
me know!!!!

Contraceptive Pills Posted: 10-02-03 22:41pm
You can usually consider yourself safe
after taking contraceptive pills for 2
weeks. Some will be different though and
there are many. If you read the
information leaflet that came in the box
with your pills it will tell you on there.
In the meantime you will need to use
alternative contraception such as condoms
etc. Definately take some time to read
the information that came with the pack,
there is probably other important
information you need to be aware of with
the particular medication you are
taking.
