Question: Is Lo/Ovral birth control pill strong enough to have uprotected sex with!?
I just started taking it a few days ago, and initially I told my doctor I wanted it for my skin but now I want to know if it will be strong enough that my partner cannot get me pregnant if we go without protection after a certain amount of time!? And if it is strong enough, how much time should we wait!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lo-dose B!.C pills are just as effective as "regular" dosed pills!. The only reason they are low is because the FDA found that women do not need such a high dose of horomones to prevent pregnancy!.
If you started the pill on the first day of your period, you are supposedly immediately protected when your period ends!.
If you started the sunday after your period, the pill is effective 7 days after you started taking it!.
The only way the pill is most effective is if its taken every day!. Even though you're on the pill, I think waiting a few weeks to have unprotected sex would be the safest way!. I just started the pill as well, and needless to say i'm still a little leary! lol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes you can use Lo/Ovral as a contraceptive, even though it is low dose it has enough hormone to work that way!. However you should maybe go back to your doctor to tell them and check with them!.
But you should probably wait more than a few days!. If you started it the first day of your period you're supposedly protected after 7 days though sometimes the pill info packet recommends waiting 14 days or a month until you have unprotected sex!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
