So i'm a first day starter....but I have only been on YAZ for about a week and a half. Just last night my fiance and I had unprotected sex. For some reason I am really paranoid that I wasn't fully protected.....I just feel like it didn't have time to work yet. Am I stressing over this to much. I just need reassurance. I take it at the same time every single night and have not skipped any at all. All responses are greatly appreciated!!! I think I am just paranoid, but need a little reassurance. Sorry to be a bother. Thanks for all your time and help.


I know I posted a topic similar to this earlier in the week, I aplogoize if it seems repitious. Just concerned thats all.:confused:

I answered your other post as well. You are protected. Like I said before since your are a first day starter you are protected right away, because you started on your period. Read the insert that comes with the pills. It tells you everything you need to know. Here is exactly what it says, "Day 1 Start, You will not need to use a back-up method of birth control, since you are starting the pill at the beginning of your period." If you're that paranoid though maybe you should continue using condoms until you feel ready to have unprotected sex. As long as you take your pills as directed though you are protected against becoming pregnant.

If it helps you to know, I had unprotected sex right after I started yaz (7 days to be exact) over 6 months ago, and I did not become pregnant. I wasn't paranoid though and I was emotionally ready to have unprotected sex with my man. Bottom line is if you don't feel comfortable having unprotected sex yet, then don't have it, but your pills are 99% effective in protecting you against becoming pregnant.
