It takes a while for the pill to start working. Your doctor should have told you that you need to use another form of birth control until you've had the pill a while. (Don't remember how long.) In any case, it's a good idea to use more than one contraceptive if you want to have sex and not have a baby because I've heard of waaay too many cases where a condom or birth control pills alone is not enough to prevent a baby from coming. Keep taking the pills and if your period doesn't come when it's supposed to, then take a pregnancy test. If it does come, then just remember to use condoms as well next time.

NO, You are saying that your started you birth control pills on the same day your period started. The birth control pills are designed to start on the same day you start your period. When you start your pills the same day you start you period, you have protection the first pack of pills. If you missed pills during the first week of pills, it is possible that you can get pregnant, because the first week of pills are the most important pills of the pack. If you took the pills at the same time everyday the first week and the second week etc., then you are okay, you will not get pregnant. Continue to take your pills the same time everyday.

the cycle runs from the last day of your period up until the next time you start your period. you are most likely to get pregnant 10-14 days after the last day of your period. this is the time the body releases hormones (FSH, LH) causing ovulation to occur. additionally, if u have been on the pill for a while you should be protected as the estrogen levels help to slow down ovulation. however if this is the first time ur using the pill, make sure to use a back up method as sperm can stay active for up to 3-4 days following intercourse.

Most women don't ovulate right after their periods. You usually ovulate 14 days after your period begins. Theoretically birth control pills should stop that, but sometimes it can take your body a month (one cycle) to fully adjust to the hormones and react to them propely (as in, not ovulate). Since sperm can live in your body for 5-6 days, it is possible that you could get pregnant. However it's not 100% that you're pregnant, maybe more like 50-50 since you started the pills and they CAN supress ovulation from the first day they're taken (they just don't always). Gosh, since you're trying to be safe and start birth control, I really hope you don't wind up pregnant right now. Just take a test when your next period is due...it's the only way to know. Good luck, and I really hope I could help you.

Well the pill hasn't been taken long enough to do any good....you have to take it for a whole cycle I think, and when you first take it your cycle is adjusting...so it might be off for a month or so....so you can't depend on the pill at all.
And women vary as to when they are the most fertile...usually it is during several days in the middle of the monthly cycle....but that's why you take a pill, because it is very hard to tell for sure.
Best way to know is to take a test...or just wait and see.....

Most likely no. However there is always the chance. My son is living proof of that. The pill needs at least a month to be effective. Conception can take place even during menstration. Please be more careful, and take precautions. If you are going to have sex, use a condom that will help to lower your chances of pregnancy.
Be Well!

the pill takes one week to be effective. always use a backup method of birth control in that week.
if this is still within five days of having sex, you can use Emergency Contraceptive (Plan B) to ensure that pregnancy does not occur.
You can get Emergency Contraceptives over the counter from a pharmacist at the drug store.
If you do not have access to Emergency Contraceptives, you can use your pills as an Emergency Contraceptive, depending on your brand. For example:
1st Dose - Take within 72 hours of intercourse
2nd Dose - Take 12 hours after 1st dose
Alesse: 1st Dose: 5 pink pills
2nd Dose: 5 pink pills
Levlen: 1st Dose: 4 orange pills
2nd Dose: 4 orange pills
Levlite: 1st Dose: 5 pink pills
2nd Dose: 5 pink pills
Levora: 1st Dose: 4 white pills
2nd Dose: 4 white pills
Lo-Ovral: 1st Dose: 4 white pills
2nd Dose: 4 white pills
Nordette: 1st Dose: 4 orange pills
2nd Dose: 4 orange pills
Ovral: 1st Dose: 2 white pills
2nd Dose: 2 white pills
Ovrette: 1st Dose: 20 pills (take within 48 hours of intercourse)
2nd Dose: 20 pills more
Tri-Levlen: 1st Dose: 4 yellow pills
2nd Dose: 4 yellow pills
Trivora: 1st Dose: 4 pink pills
2nd Dose: 4 pink pills
Triphasil: 1st Dose: 4 yellow pills
2nd Dose: 4 yellow pills
I really hope this helps you.
