I started taking Loestrin 24 on this past Friday. It was the Friday during my period. I had started my period a few days before so it wasn't a first day start. How long will it be before I am fully protected against pregnancy?

A safe bet will be 7 days. The pamphlet that came with it does have this information as well as what to do when you miss a pill. It is good to read it Smile
