Hi, I wanted to ask if it is okay to start taking femovan on day 4 of my menstrual cycle. How will it affect my chances of getting pregnant. Will I be protected if I start taking it on day 4 of my menstrual cycle, 23rd june. And if I have unprotected sex on 1st of july. While on birth control.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional or your gynecologist for personalized advice regarding your specific situation. Typically, combination birth control pills like femovan are designed to be started on the first day of your menstrual cycle (the first day of your period) or on the first sunday after your period begins. However, in some cases, it may be acceptable to start taking them on day 4 of your menstrual cycle, as long as you use an additional form of contraception (such as condoms) for the first seven days of pill use to ensure protection. If you start taking femovan on day 4 of your menstrual cycle, it may take a little longer for the contraceptive effects to fully establish, so you should use backup contraception during the first week. After consistently taking the pill for seven days, the contraceptive protection should be in place. Regarding unprotected sex on july 1st, if you have been taking the birth control pill correctly and consistently for at least seven days, the chances of pregnancy are significantly reduced. However, no birth control method is 100% effective, and there is still a small possibility of pregnancy, especially if you miss pills or if there are interactions with other medications.
