THey give you cirrcular things and yeah the 2nd month works trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]
hailebop answered Sunday February 6 2005, 2:57 pm: For safety you should be on the Pill a month before you become sexually active to give your body a chance to get used to the changes. It is sensible to wait longer though because it can take a while to get used to remembering to take your pills reliably every day at the right time. Taking them just a few hours late effects the reliability of some brands. It takes some girls a while to get used to habitually taking them, and it's best not to be using them as contraceptives until you've really got in the habbit and know you won't just forget one, because this will really reduce the reliability.

MummuM answered Sunday February 6 2005, 12:55 pm: It's effective after a month. Using a condom and being on birth control it's not 100% safe, it's only 97%. Just be safe and don't buy the cheap condom brands. If you do have anymore questions, just go to your doctor. I'm sure he/she will be more then willing to tell you everything you'd like to know.

xxBrOkEnxx answered Sunday February 6 2005, 11:27 am: its effective after about a couple months after you take it. with a condom and birth control you still wont be 100% safe. you could still get pregnet and you could still get an STD, just be safe [ xxBrOkEnxx's advice column | Ask xxBrOkEnxx A Question ]
Karen answered Sunday February 6 2005, 9:24 am: Birth control is effective after a few months that you started to use it. You should probably wait at least two months, depending on how your birth control works and stuff. You should talk to your doctor about this, and they will tell you. Hope I helped :)
