Hi I know this is a embrassing for me to write this and you guys might tell me theres nothing to worry about but me and my bf kinda had a quicky and usually we would always use a condom even with the birth control pills. so what i'm just wondering now is how do i know if the pills dont work and when will i start to find out...i know ppl have said that the only way to find out if they dont work is to get pregnant... so i dont know i would like some advice plz :) thx

If you're taking them as you're supposed to (at the same time every day, no nausea or vomiting within 2 hours of taking a pill, no drugs or supplements that interfere with the pill), the pill is more effective than condoms at preventing pregnancy.


That being said, if your period when you're on the pill is different than it was before you were on the pill, you know the pill is working.

As long as you were virgins in the strictest definition of the word....no worries.
