I Could Really Use Some Advice-please Help! Posted: 10-25-05 21:12pm
K, i'm super confused and worried right
now. I started the marvelon 21 pill,
and it's effective after seven days. I
had unprotected sex after about 10 days on
it, but then I learned some more about
that pill. It said that it was
effective after seven days if you took it
on day one of ur cycle. I didnt know I
could take it on my period, and now i'm
scared that I wasnt protected. I have
been taking those pills religiously, but
does this mean that I might not have been
protected? Im super worried right now,
since i've only just started. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

I think you are okay. Most of the time
your ovulation is 2 weeks after your
period (when you are most fertile). Your
chances of getting period really isn't
that great. I had sex for a year and a
half before I got pregnant. If you start
getting symptoms take a pregnancy test,
but in my opinion you dont have anything
to worry about. Good luck!

I'll be honest, I don't know a lot about
that pill in particular.. But for most
pills in general, it says you're protected
after 1 day if you take it on the first
day of your cycle, and if taken any other
time, you're protected after 7 days. Did
you read it wrong, perhaps? If not, then
like the poster above me said, you're
generally only likely to get pregnant
halfway through your cycle, so don't worry
too much :)
