Ok, I had a bit of a hard time understanding what you wrote there, but from what I understand, you started your bcps on August 15 and then had unprotected sex on the 23rd? If that's what you meant, you should be safe, assuming you took them on time every day and you aren't taking any meds that could interfere, don't remember throwing up after taking pills, any of that.

Doctors (and this board I think) often recommend not having unprotected sex for a month, but that is usually just to be sure you are comfortable with your routine of taking the pils. As far as I understand, you are protected after the first 7 days of regularly taking the pills until you make a mistake.

Good luck and I hope I understood you right!
