safe to have sex?
| Fri, 02-13-2004 - 12:19am |
Hi! I just have a birth control pill question for any experienced pill-takers or health care professionals. I have been taking Yasmin for about 7 months. My boyfriend of 5 months and I just started having sex without using a condom after both of us had negative STD test results. However, I have a few questions:
1)I know you have to take it at the same time every day, but does any variance matter? For example, if I usually take it at 8pm, am I still safe if I take it for one or two days per week at 10:30pm?
2)Is it safe to have sex without a condom between the day I take my last pill and the day my period starts? It usually takes 3-4 days after the day I take the last pill for me to start my period.

I appreciate any input you have!

call your local planned parenthood, don't ask a message board - I am on the pill and think it is best to take it at the same time every day, and you only stop the pill to get your period - it is still effective at that time - but again, call a clinic or planned parenthood or your doctor.
