i have been on ortho tri lo for exactly a month today. for the first 7 days my boyfriend and i used a condom while we had sex. everyday i take my pill at the same time. last night we had unprotected sex and he came inside me. do you think there is a huge chance of being pregnant? or will my birth control have taken an effect?

You should be okay, but remember nothing is 100% safe from getting pregnant...........I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, good luck!!!!

No, you should be fine if you've been on it for a month. It also depends on what week you were on for your pills. The highest risk of becoming pregnant occurs during the last week of pills before the pretend ones, but if you have been taking it at the same time every day for a full month, you should be fine. Just remember that birth control pills are still only 99% effective when taken exactly perfectly, and the percentage goes down with every pill you miss or don't take on time. If you are that worried about getting pregnant, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use a back-up method such as a sponge or condoms, but I have been on the Pill for over 6 years now, and I have not once had a pregnancy scare, and believe me, I didn't used to be as religious about taking them on time as I am now. You'll be OK. Have a great day!

Your Birth Control should be fine. It usually kicks in after a week but if you are unsure then read the information that comes with it. But just an FYI you can still get pregnant even if you take your birth control at the same time everyday and regurlary.

when changing birth control, your doctor should tell you when it will be okay. i'm on ortho tri lo as well now. and she said give it a month. so, you are in the clear.

You should be fine as long as you've been taking it correctly (same time, every day). It reaches full effect after consistently taking it for a week.

it certainly relies upon on the delivery administration technique you're utilising. while you're utilising oral contraceptives than it may take a month or 2 SO USE CONDOMS until eventually THEN. in case you utilize the NuvaRing then it takes result interior 4-5 days.

You should be good. Most BC is effective in 2 weeks. Happy humping.

I am pretty sure you are covered by now. Don't worry about it unless you get symptoms of pregnancy-but that would be highly unlikely.

it should have went into effect when you start taking it, if not sure ask your doctor.
