the pill

[4x4rocker]

i have just started taking the pill, like only since yesterday, the doctor said as it was the ned of my period that i would have to wait 7 days for it to be fully effective, so just to make me feel better, if me and my b/f wanted to not use a condom on monday night, which is the 7days
do u think it would be worth just using a condom just in case??

any advice would be great full

Well better safe than sorry. What's one more time with a condom?

yeh your right thanks

No problem!

I know what it's like to have a pregnancy scare and wouldn't wish that upon anyone! So it's definately better safe than sorry.

just remember the pill doesnt protect from STDs, so make sure your both clean before chucking all the condoms out

i always heard that it takes about a month for the pill to take effect... so i would definatly use a back up meth.

Yea same here.... the packet insert says 7 days... my DR said she advises a month.... you've waited this long, what is one more month gonna kill you? lol

I urge my patients to use a backup method for a full month. If you want to ditch the condomes, try the sponge or some of the spermicide systems. These come in jelly, foam, film, suppository with different ones more available from country to country.

Until you get established on one pill (it often takes two or three to find one you tolerate well), it is a good idea to backup.
