Hello I just had unprotected sex with my boyfriend today...I'm taking ortho tricyclen lo and it's my 13th day on the pill...I'm just scared coz I didn't took it on the day of my period...I just took it any day on my menstrual cycle...And now i'm experiencing bleeding...Until now...It's been almost 6 days already...And yeah i'm scared...Is the pill effective on the 13th day even if I didn't took it while i'm bleeding...Or should I need a morning after pill? I'm really really scared...I just got divirginized..

The regular combination pill takes 7 days to get into your sysem actually, I am in the healthcare field and educate about birth control. When you start on your period it is effective immediately, when you start on any other day it is effective in 7 days. I already talked to her and helped her :)
