Question
if u r not taking pills before then you take or you start taking pills after sex (like a week after sex) can be still effect for birth control?

Answer
Lizzy,

Did you get the pills from a doctor or prescriber? If so, then check with that person about your questions. You have to start a regular cycle of pills and you have to be consistent on it. I would love to talk to you more and you can ask me further questions. My email address is
DWooley97@yahoo.com so hope to hear from you soon!
