i started taking ortho tri-cyclen a couple weeks ago. Lastnight I was having sex with my bf and the condom broke my doctor told me that I should wait to have unprotected sex after i have taken a whole cycle of birth control pills but I only have 4 active pills left to take anyways, do u think im safe from pregnancy or atleast that my odds are less of getting pregnant. I am worried to death, please reply someone if u know.

Hi jade amber, welcome back,

Whoa girl, take it easy! If you have been taking your pills correctly: on time (within +/- 2 hrs. of your pill time), haven’t been sick and thrown up or had diarrhea within 2 hours of taking your pill and haven’t been taking meds. or supplements that would interfere with the effectiveness of your pills, you should be fine. Using condoms for the entire first cycle is recommended so that you will be protected while you learn to take your pills correctly and so that if AF doesn’t show up on her old schedule or is lighter/heavier and/or of different consistency you won’t worry so much. I’ll bet you have nothing to worry about.

Good luck
