Birth Control, period and unprotected sex

Unread post by Boorelow »

First off, I know that Birth Control can not stop me from getting any STI's but non the less I would still like to be able to have unprotected sex on Birth Control.
I started MinOrval 28 oral contraceptives Saturday March 11(6 pills ago, it is now March 16th and I took my pill today). I am due to get my period this coming Saturday (18th) and I had a question. My nurse told me that after 2 weeks I could have unprotected sex, if I wished, with 99.9% effectiveness.
So what I'm wondering is if I get my period can I still have unprotected sex with my SO on the 25th (2 weeks after I started the pill) with no(to very little) chance of pregnancy?

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk,
discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family

For more help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.
