I have been on Lo Ovral for about 3 or 4 months now. Use a condom everytime I have sex as well. I just got done with my period and started my new pack of active pills this past SUNDAY. I then had sex on Monday, with a condom. My question is, am I protected on that Monday that I had sex? Is that *1 week waiting period until you are fully protected* only applicable to those who are first time users of the pill, meaning they are starting their very first month on birth control? Because I have been on it for a few months...so I'm ok right?
