ok soo, this is my first month starting birth control.. and me and my boyfriend have sex quite frequently.. without a condom.. but he still pulls out. i know it isn't smart but anyways is the birth control affective the first month? bc im already having signs of sore breast and cramps and i spotted a little bit, and i hope its not pregnancy, and just the start of the birth control?

Pulling out does not protect against pregnancy, because pre-cum (the tiny amount of liquid a penis leaks from the moment it is hard) has thousands of sperm in it.
Your symptoms could be pregnancy, or they could be normal PMS. Your safest option is to consult with your doctor, who will be able to advise you more accurately.

russianspy1234 answered Tuesday January 2 2007, 2:30 am: generarly, id say wait a week to be safe, but it might be different depending on the particular brand of birth control. wouldnt be a month though. just buy a home pregnancy test you can get it at walmart, itll be cheap [ russianspy1234's advice column | Ask russianspy1234 A Question ]
kittykat08 answered Tuesday January 2 2007, 2:29 am: i feared what you are afraid of now when i started (been on it almost a yr now) birth control begins to be trully affective at about 2 weeks into the pill. so if you are your good. if not then you really need to be careful because my dr. said if you do it when you first start before 2 weeks are up then its actually worse than before without pill or condom..so good luck.
