I've been taking the pill each day at the same time since my son was 2 weeks old . He's now 7 weeks . I haven't missed a day yet . Today was the first day I didn't take it at the same time . I took it 2 hrs before I normally do . I took it and had sex few mins after words . So what I'm asking is does it kick in right away after taking it or bout an hr or so ? I normally take it WAY before I even have sex . Today was my first time having sex since I had my 2nd baby .

You are suppose to take the birth control pill every day for two weeks before you can have unprotected sex... and don't forget to keep taking a pill every day and the same time each day...and if you read the instructions it'll tell you what day to take it, like the first day of your period you would start to take it. Or the last day of your period...I'm not sure. But each pack comes with instructions.  So read them.
