When you begin the pill for the first time not on your period, you need to use condoms for a week. But as a regular user, who uses the pills correctly, and doesn&#39;t start a pack late, you don&#39;t need condoms for pregnancy prevention. Of course, they&#39;re still your best bet for STI prevention, though.Dr. Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08533956799215084256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23036467.post-67942529181728110302010-02-03T08:29:54.609-05:002010-02-03T08:29:54.609-05:00Dear Dr. Kate,<br /><br />I am so confused right now! I can&#39;t understand what you&#39;re talking about - starting on the pill for the first time in a while or starting a new pack (as in every month). Does this mean that there&#39;s a week in every month that I need to be using a condom?hopscotchedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15400831537336681339noreply@blogger.com
