I started taking Yaz one month ago...I'm currently on my period and into my second pack of pink pills. I'm on the second pill. My main question is when does Yaz actually start as a protectant against getting pregnant. The instruction manual isnt quite clear about that. I'm thinking it should already be in effect right? How long must you be taking Yaz for it to protect you against getting pregnant?

I am a nurse and I would tell any of my patients that any birth control medication takes atleast one month to take effect on your body. Therefore I would recommend using a back up method, such as a condom to be 100% sure that you do not become pregnant.

It is my understanding that you should already be protected. The reason I say about what I understand is because of what I've read when it comes to other kinds of birth control pills. I would recommend double checking with your dr to see what they say.

you must use additional protection while in the 1st month of a new bc pill.....it is only after you have the 1st period that you are safe. this is a proven fact.
