Hello.
I'm curious.
About birth control. If you have finished the peach /placebo pill week and start a new packet on a sunday. Can you have sex that day? I always use a condom but would the pill protect me and how long does it take?
I've been taking the pill for 6 months so I know it takes at least a month to regulate. But how long does a single pill take.. to.. take effect? Hours.. or a whole week? Would it be wise to take the pill and have sex when you're supposedly on your period? Will the pill stop it?
I know.. too many questions
I really want to be protected.

yes, if you have just finished the placebo pill week and start a new packet you can have sex. you have to take the Pill seven days straight for it to reach its full strength. it would be helpful to take the pill and have sex will you're on you're period but it takes a few days for the pill to stop you're period if you havnt already been bleedin for a full week.

I would advice you to stay fully protected because as they say "its better to be safe than sorry" ok.so use the pill and use a condom and don't let him convince you of taking the condom off because you may think you kno him well but you never really know because your not side by side someone every single day...so be smart don't get caught out there and play it safe.there are way to many teens and adults ketching std's and hiv/aids we don't need any more adding to that list...play it safe and be smart...

This may not be the answer you were looking for, but sorry I have to be honest. If I were you I'd still use a condom- even on the pill.
Here's why: 1. the pill is not 100%, especially if you accidently skip a day or something. 2. the pill does not protect against any kind of STD. And I'm not just talking about AIDS here, there are many others that are very common- herpes, gonarrhea, just to name a few. Some there are no cure for- if you get it, you have it for life! And some can even make you sterile- i.e.- you won't be able to have kids.
You sound like you're very educated so you probably know that already, but just thought I'd remind you. In my opinion, it's not worth the risk. I've had friends in h.s. / college that this happened to (of course they thought it never would happen to them) but it did and they were devastated. One girl was living with a guy for over 3 years, they planned on getting married and everything and she thought she could trust him. He cheated on her and gave her an STD. So you can never be too careful.
