Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

If you get the pill and start taking it everyday like you are supposed to how long will it take to effectively prevent you from pregnancy? Do you have to wait a whole menstrual cycle, or does it work right away? (link)

You should wait a whole menstrual cycle, just incase an egg dropped down and is in your uterus waiting to be fertilized. Once there cycle is over, there won't be any more eggs. So it is best to use other protection for the firts month.
After that, as you know, the pill is only 98% affective, but those are great odds.
Don't skip any days, that could be a problem.
good luck
and kudos to you for being so responsible.
Michele
