Birth Control
I just started birth control (nuvaring) and I was just wondering how long i have to wait until i can have unprotected sex? I don't want to have a child yet i am only 19 and already taking care of a 7 month old.
At least 7 days of active pills. Depending on the brand, when you start your packet you normally start on the sugar pills (normal oral combined pill, mini pill (progesterone only) is different). So make sure that you don't start counting the days till you have started on the active pills.
Just as a side note, the worst ones to miss are either at the end of the packet or the beginning of the active pills.
The product information sheet will have all this info. You should find it in your packet of pills. If not ask the pharmacist or google the product info.
