Yes. With most Birth Control pills or other contraception, you need to use a backup method (such as a condom) for at least the first seven days after starting the contraception. If you think you might be pregnant, please see your doctor immediately.
You could get pregnant if you had unprotected sex in the five days before you had the IUD removed (if it was a hormonal IUD like Liletta, Mirena, or Skyla) or in the first seven days of taking the pill.
Usually, when you take birth control pills, you should refrain from sex for the first seven days or use alternative contraception. However, you should keep in mind that the only known form of birth control that is 100% effective is abstinence.
To be fully protected from pregnancy when starting Microgynon 30, you should take it for seven consecutive days. If you begin taking the pill at least seven days before unprotected sex, you will be protected from the start. If you start later in your cycle, you should use an additional form of contraception for the first seven days. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
If you start Nuva Ring on the very first day of menstrual bleeding, it offers immediate protection. If you start on another day of your cycle, you need to use a backup method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the first seven days of ring use. If you had sex in the first seven days without a condom, consider using emergency contraception, and continue using the ring as scheduled.
Yes, that is correct. After seven days, you will have full protection. For the next cycle, you won't have that seven day delay.
If your girlfriend is late taking her birth control pills multiple days in a row there wouldn't be such a worry as her getting pregnant but she may start spotting because of the inconsistencies with the times of her taking the pills. The pills should be in her system by then. Unless, it's her very first pack of pills and she's in that first seven days. If that's the case, you guys should use backup protection to be safe.
if I'm correct that's just under seven months pregnant
If you miss the patch for five days, put on a new patch when you remember. Use a backup method until you've used the patch correctly for seven days. Consider using emergency contraception if you had sex during that five days.
Women who are more than seven weeks pregnant (or 49 days since their last menstrual period) should not take mifepristone. Mifepristone at a lower dose is also available in some Asian countries for use as emergency contraception.
A blood test can pick up HCG seven days after conception.
