It depends on when you started taking the
pills.
If you started taking the pills on the
first day of your period, you were
protected immediately. If you started
taking the pill at any other time, then
you need to wait one week before you will
be protected.
Once you have finished a whole month, you
will have an off week. You will be
protected during this week, and next month
when you start the new pills you will be
protected all the time!

You should start taking them during your
period and it is my understanding that you
need to give it one full cycle of birth
control (1 full pack) before you are fully
protected.
Hope this helps.

That's not true. She could start taking
them any time she wants. With ortho-lo,
they have two suggested ways to start. One
is called "Sunday Start". In this way, she
starts on any Sunday of the month. Sunday
is picked just so it's easier to remember,
but it could be any day you wanted so you
can plan for your period to always fall on
a weekend, or during the week, etc.
The other method is called "Day 1" start.
In this way, she would have started the
pills on the first day of her period, no
matter what day of the week it was. There
is a sticker or adjustable clicker that
comes with the pill packs so you can
adjust what day it says each of the pills
are. The default is Sunday.
With Sunday Start, she would have to wait
one week to be safe (unless the first day
of her period just so happens to be a
Sunday). After 7 days of properly taking
the pill, she is safe.
With Day 1 Start, she would be safe
immediately, and would not have to wait 7
days.

I have never taken ortho so I guess it is
different. I do remember a "sunday start"
with the pills I took but I was always
told to wait one full cycle regardless of
how you started. Maybe it just my doc
being extra safe.

That's all it is, being extra safe.

so Eiri (btw i just recongized ur picture
from death note. haha i just started
watching it and i'm on episode 20 only:P)
you're saying that for every woman on the
pill, even for first timers, it takes 7
days to know that ur safe on the pill? or
is it only for certain women with certain
body types? i recently wrote a pregnant on
pill entry even tho you others have taught
me alot about the pill. i'm just being
totally paranoid. i'm on it for 2 weeks
and one day now and my bf came in me
without a condom today . am i still safe?
( and yea i know it was stupid of me to
not use a condom bc i'm usually the smart
one when it comes to sex) please help!
please and thank you!

It's not a mathematical certainty, and it
all depends on when you start the pills...
If you start on any random day (NOT the
first day of your period) then within 7
days, you will be protected. It all
depends on whether or not you've' ovulated
yet, or what time of the month it is,
etc...
So the 7 day period is necessary for all
women because people just don't know...
You are totally fine, you were more than 7
days out!! You don't need a condom, it
wasn't stupid!
