hello everyone. im new... basically i wanted some educated answers about sex that didn't come form a book or something. i have a few... i just started on ortho tri-cyclen less than a month ago. my boyfriend and i have still been using condoms as a back-up, but the other night he just pulled out. a)when exactly does the pill kick in? i know they tell you at least a month, is that right? is there a big risk? he pulled out and everything, no major slip-ups. basically i always get very nervous and anxious when period time rolls around...not cool. c) does anyone else use the pill, pros/cons? thanks much.
