I have several packs of bc pills from
about 4 years ago. Can i start using them
now? Will they be as affective? I'm asking
because i am unable to go to the dr right
now and ive just started having sex
frequently again..

I would make an appointment with your
doctor asap. Before prescribing/taking
birth control, it is best to be examined,
have your blood pressure taken, be checked
for anemia, etc. This is precautions to
make sure the birth control will not do
harm to your body and health.
With that being said, birth control always
has expiration dates on the pack. I would
look at the pack and see when it expires.
Maybe even call your doctor since you
don't have time right now to go in and at
least ask over the phone about it. Good
luck!
