Most doctors recommend that you be on the pills one entire cycle (a month) before using them as a sole means of birth control. That being said, if you are not married, please still continue condom use. Birth control pills do not protect you from any STDs.

You should NEVER have sex without a condom unless you are absolutely sure that you and your partner have no STD's. As for pregnancy prevention, only after your fourth week of your pill pack will you begin to be protected. But, please, don't ditch the condom. It's for your safety and your partner's.

Use BOTH condoms, for STDs, and birth control pills!
