    You aren't protected by the Pill until the second month you take it...

    OK... thats a bit different... however you are aware condoms are only 80% effective IF used correctly... you wouldn't be protected a month after stopping medically however.

    Even the pill isn't 100%. I can name at least two members here (both moderators) who have had children while using TWO or more forms of birth Control... one of them is a Registered nurse in Pediatrics...

    If you are concerned you really need to wait a month after that date to take a test and be able to feel secure in a negative. If you get a positive at any time before that... you can believe it too.

    Usually a period will indicate you aren't... however a small percentage of pregnant women do have false periods... so even that is not 100% sure as an indicator.
