Actually, you can safel have sex after only 7 days on most birth control pills. Microgynon may be different, but almost all of the packs tell you to wait a whole cycle. Yet you are safe after one week.

So yes, it is true, you are totally safe from pregnancy after a full cycle on microgynon.

I think you might have been concerned about the pill-free week.

When contraceptive pills are taken correctly you are protected during your pill free week (or sugar/placebo pill week) during which you will have withdrawal bleeding (period). You are protected for those 7 days you are not taking a pill, as long as you start the next pack on time.

Thank you. my friend told me that i would be safe but i just wanted to make sure. thank you xxxxx
