[QUOTE]Originally posted by leabug: [QB] You should be protected after the first full cycle of your pills, so after that, you can have intercourse without a condom without risk. (This is assuming you and your partner have both had your STI screenings, since BC pills don't protect against STIs.) You may experience some spotting anyway during your first cycle, just so you know, and there isn't much you can do about that. It just happens as your body adjusts to the hormones. You CAN postpone your period by skipping the placebo pills and going straight to the next package if you want. Again, if you do that, there may also be spotting and breakthrough bleeding.
