My period started on Friday. It's now Sunday and I've started the pill today, still on my period. Am I protected straight away from pregnancy?

It takes up to seven days to be protected while on the pill providing you take it correctly. If in doubt use other protection as well. You can never be too safe.

Not what you're looking for?
