Activation Time For Lo Loestrin Fe

If I have started the pill on the first day of my current period, how long do I have to take the pill in order for it to protect me against pregnancy without using a condom?

Hello, Moria! How are you?

If started on the first day of your period, it is effective immediately, according to the FDA information, because it should prevent ovulation from occurring this cycle.

Typical side effects to oral contraceptives are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?
