I did a search and found that Microgynon is a combination oral contraceptive pill.

Typically, with oral contraceptives you are advised to use a backup method (i.e. condoms) for the first 7 days of your first pack.

Please read the information that came with your prescription. There should be an information booklet/paper with the Microgynon. It is best to read all of it so you can be familiar with possible side effects, what can decrease its effectiveness and proper use. The information packet also has information on what to do if you miss a pill. Save this information for future reference.

Good explnations anne.

As she said, you are safe after 7 days of active pills. You do not need to wait the entire month.

boysaregreat1994, You are fully protected after 7 days. As long as you have read the patient insert and know what can affect the efficiency of your pill, take it every day at about the same time, make sure medicines you are prescribed does not interfere with it you, the failure rate is extremely small.

You can always make him wear a condom as well. That will be 100% effective - the condom/pill combination.

Unless you are in a long term relationship where an unplanned baby will not be the end of the world for you, he should anyways be wearing a condom to prevent infections. With every partner you allow to ejaculate inside you, you increase your risk for bacterial infections.

Best of luck!
