I have been using tri-cyclen for 9 days now, taking them at the same time within a 2 hour window everyday...Am I protected from an unwanted pregnancy as much as the pill offers?

I had unprotected sex yesterday, and I took the "morning after pill" to be safe..is this going to interfere with my birth control effectiveness?

You should not have taken the morning after pill. I don't *think* it intereferes, but it was a waste of money!

YES, you are as protected as you can be on the pill!!

The map can mess up your period too, so don't be surprised.

Sex isn't 'unprotected' if you're on the pill, as far as pregnancy is concerned.
