It's just like when you start taking birth control pills for the first time after never have taken them. There is that waiting period for the pills to be 99% effective.

I don't want to argue but if you read the directions it tells you right on the same day starter you are protected sunday starter use protection for 7 days you can ask you gyno it's true and i'm sorry yes there are different types of pills some are tri fasic and some with different hormones what i ment to say was get one simmilar to what you are on and it will be the same hormones but as far as the protection i to thought it took a month to kick in but really it doesn't just read your insert and also i have talked with my gyno many times to make sure and i have never had a problem even after i had my baby and restarted my pills i was fine. If you don't take them at a regular time and don't take them everyday then you have a bigger risk of getting pregnant.
