Because it takes 7 days for the pill to start fully working. If youve taken the 21 pills then hand the 7 days rest. Then started to take the next pack does it take another 7 days to start working or can you still have sex?

No you are protected straight away in the next pack - because the ovaries are already suppressed.

Not what you're looking for?
