Birth Control

I always tell my new start patients to use condoms during the first pill pack, and I also encourage the use of condoms routinely to prevent sexually transmitted infections which are very common in your age group.
No, it may take up to one month, and it does not protect against AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases, so you STILL need condoms. Keep in mind that the pill can also cause weight gain, hair loss, dry skin, depression, and increases risk of certain cancers. I never recommend this drug, especially since you need to use condoms anyway. You can look into non-hormonal birth control--the copper IUD (intrauterine device). There are no hormones, so no increased risk of cancer or other diseases, that we know about at this time.
