I am going back on the birth control after a 7 month break -- Loestrin 24 FE. How long do I have to be on them before I am protected from pregnancy? Is it 7 days or do I need to wait till I finish the entire 1st package? I was on the Pill for 20 years before this but a stupid Dr decided that I was in menopause ( guess he had never heard of Perimenopause) and took me off them. But for the life of me I can't remember how long I have to be on them till I am protected!
