Started Bcp One Week Ago - Do I Still Need Backup Or Plan B? Posted: 03-17-07 13:04pm


I started birth control 7 days ago (Nuvaring). It states on the instructions that you should use backup the first week. If you have sex 7 days after you start Nuvaring, and DON'T use backup, should you get Plan B anyway or is the birth control working by now?
