Ok, so I just started taking seasonale
close to three weeks ago. I made the
mistake of having unprotected sex on the
8th day of taking the pills, and now I am
paranoid I could be pregnant. I want to
get off the pills as soon as possible
because by the time the reminder pills
were to come(2 months from now) I will be
out of the country with my family, and
unable to take the actions necessary to
get help.
Im nervous because some people say you
should be fine if you wait the seven days
before unprotected sex, whereas others
have said you should have waited a whole
month. I really cant afford to have a
pregnancy, and I know its all my fault.
But I really need to act quickly. Does
anyone think I am over reacting? And if I
should stop taking the pills when should I
stop? Immediately? Please, please help!

Do not stop taking the birth control
pills!!
Continue to take them.
Relax.
I'm sure your doctor told you how long to
wait for sex. If not, read the package
insert.
You are more than likely safe and are
worrying over nothing.

The package insert said to use a backup
for the first sevendays...Which I did. I
even looked on planned parenthood, and the
site said if I started the bc any other
time in the cycle(i did not start it the
sunday after my period, I started 8 days
after my period) that it would become
effective after 7 days...So im just
freaking out over nothing?

Yes, you are freaking out over nothing!
Do not stop the pills, or else you will be
risking pregnancy soon.
You are protected as long as you have been
taking the pills for 7 days..
