Question
I was wondering, I just started my white pills(inactive) pills today and I also had intercourse, would I be safe if I used a condom? And are the inactive pills still working, because I read online and many people say that your birth control from previous uses are still active,is this true, explain?
Rochelle,
Sorry I just was able to get your question today. So I'm sure you had to make a decision before this. Usually, the birth control pills act to prevent pregnancy but not 100% of the time. If you use a condom, you would have less chance of pregnancy but still not 100%. I don't recommend birth control pills or any kind of hormonal birth control method. I feel that there are too many side effects and risks. If you would like more info on this or just update me, please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com
Hope to hear from you soon.
