Answers:
it takes 7 days for you to be protected!. but they also say that if you take it the day of your period that you protected right away, i did that but i still used condoms for the first 7 days and then after that haven't used condoms since and i believe i'm on my 4th pack!. just make sure that you take it everyday at the same time and don't miss a pill!. but if you do miss a pill just remember to use a back up method (condoms) for 7 days!. i hope this helps!.

It depends when you start taking the pills!. If you take your first pill on the first day of your period you are protected right away!. If you take the first pill on any other day it is 7 days!.

Many doctors tell patients 1-3 months as a precaution!. If you miss a pill at all during the first week your protection drops so if a doctor says you aren't protected for 1 month, it allows time to get in the habit of take the pills!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would say at least 2 weeks for your body to absorb the hormones
and be partially safe but still use condoms if its in the range of the first two weeks!. But if you're starting to take them now,

then in 2 months, there is no need to worry because your
body will have adjusted to the hormones by then!.

sex dust to you!!!
