Many people understand that just starting to take birth control pills allows for unprotected sex immediately, but in reality, the effectiveness of birth control pills has a starting period that should be clearly understood.
- If you start taking them within the first 5 days of your period, there is no need to use other contraceptive methods.
- If you start taking them on any other day after the 5th day of your cycle, you must continue taking them for at least 7 days and should use condoms during this period to ensure that the hormones are fully effective.
Tips for effective birth control
- Take it at the same time every day.
- If you vomit within 2 hours of taking the pill, you should take another pill from the pack immediately, and then continue taking the pills as usual.
