Please talk to your health care professional or find the official instructions for your contraceptive. My understanding is that one must take Birth Control pills for a month to be assured of contraceptive effects. Meanwhile use a backup method like condoms or foam according to the instructions.

You started your pill 7days after your period are you still protected against pregnancy?
Yes, that is the way it works. You are fine.
If you recently stopped breastfeeding and hadn't menstruated yet and if you started a combination pill today then how long before you are protected?
It will take one full month until you are protected fully against pregnancy.
My girlfriend and i had protected sex about 2 weeks ago. then she started her period.after that we took pregnancy test just to make sure she wasnt. but she has symptoms of pregnancy. can she be?
yeah she is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!! name it puff for me dude
I started taking the pill on the first day of your period and your period stopped the next day is this normal and am you protected from pregnancy?
It is common. Yes as long as you continue to take your pills according to the directions you should be protected.
You had protected sex 2 to 3 weeks ago and you started birth control a week ago can you be pregnant?
It's highly unlikely if the sex was protected. However if you feel that you could be pregnant you should take a home pregnancy test and/or see your Dr.
If you had condom protected sex two days ago and your period started today are you safe from being pregnant?
I believe that you should take a couple of pregnancy tests just to be on the safe side.
What if you started taking the oral contraceptive 3 weeks ago and your period was supposed to start but hasn't?
False
Even though you have started the pill could you be pregnant?
Yes, you can still become pregnant even if you started your birth control pills. You should wait to have unprotected sex for at least 1-2 months to be sure that your body has adapted to the hormones, and to be sure that you are protected from pregnancy.
Did having an early period mean that I started this month's birth control in the middle of my cycle and that I was not protected from pregnancy NuvaRing was removed and inserted on regular schedule?
The early period may of been brea through bleeding or possibly even a withdrawal bleed. If you suspect pregnancy then perform a HPT in 2-3 weeks.
Your period started four days late but very light could it be pregnancy?
No, it is not pregnancy, it has happened to me, its nothing.
You have been on regular birth control for years but you lapsed about a day when you started your new months prescription are you still protected?
Because you missed one pill you will be at low risk of pregnancy. You need to use a condom for 7 days and take plan B.
What is the possibility of getting pregnant on birth control if on the day before you started taking the placebo pill you had unprotected sex but took the pill later that day?
If you've been on birth control for over 4 weeks then you're protected against pregnancy.
