"Pill" Question?
Question:
I guess my question is, does anyone know how long it takes for the "pill" to be in your system before it starts to "work".
Thank you.
Answers:
Actually if you switched straight from the old pill to the new one you wouldn't have a problem at all anyway. If you stopped taking the old pill is when you had a greater chance of getting pregnant. As long as you take the pill like you are supposed to you shouldn't have much to worry about.
usually at most it starts working after 7 days. If you start taking the pill the first day of yoru period, then its effective immediately. If you start it on the first sunday after you start y our period, they say to wait 7 days.
I think it is about 7 days, but you also have to remember that if you are sick or on any antibiotics it lessens the effectiveness. I also had a problem with finding the right one, and now I have been on Seasonale for a year and a half and LOVE it!
It takes 7 days for the Pill to be effective. So you're fine...especially if you're using a condom as well.
when i went on the pill the doctor told me to uuse conddoms aswll for a month it should off started to work by then
I have no idea where this "7," day business that the pill takes effect comes from.
When I was preparing to get married, I went to see the doctor about 6 months earlier, she asked me about having birth control pills so that I wouldn't get pregnant right away.
I started taking the pill 3 months before I was married because it takes your body that much amount of time to adjust the hormones so that your body doesn't ovulate.
The pill will start to work right away, meaning that your period will come when it's supposed to according to when you start using the pill.
But your body won't adjust to NOT ovulating until about 3 months later.
