Birth control pills isn't effective the first day you take them?
Question Posted Sunday October 3 2010, 7:02 pm
I wanted to be put on birth control pills and I went to my doctor like suggested. He gave me the pills and explained about them but said I needed to be on them for at least 1 full month before they became completely effective and I don't end up pregnant. When I asked here before somebody said they are effective immediately. I told my doctor that somebody said they were effective immediately and slightly laughed and was like I hate how teens get these stupid rumors and something like that's how so many girls wind up pregnant. Who is right? My doctor or you guys?

Inaccurate information can easily be given out here by the misinformed. Birth control pills generally are not as effective until you've been on them a month, it usually says it in the fine print, your doctor is right.
