My girlfriend is currently on Microgynon30 tablet. She has just taken it for the first time today (first day of her period).

How long is it until our sex is protected?

Thanks,
Red Tide.

Generally, it's 1 week but it can be up to a month to be completely safe.

Personally, I would recommend waiting until after her next period to go unprotected. Ask her for the insert that came with the pills and read it.

If I remember right, it's effectiveness grows exponentially stronger through out the first month until it reaches it maximum effectiveness after the first cycle. It shouldn't be relied on at all the first month. I would also imagine the specifics very between the actual makes of drugs.

That's what I seem to remember anyway.

If in doubt your girl should ask her doctor or you might ask a pharmacist, if you know what pill she's taking.

Yes, I think it is one month. All though, I wouldn't advise that you rely on the pill alone at any time because it doesn't protect you from any STD's.

I have a similar question: If you miss taking your pill by a few hours then doesn't it become ineffective for like a month?? Or should you just be careful for about a week or so?

It depends on the pill dose level. High-dose pills allow more leeway than low-dose pills.
