    On One Hand: One Missed Pill

    The freedom to have unprotected sex while taking birth control pills will depend on how often and when you have forgotten to take the pill during your cycle. If you have missed only one pill or began a pack of pills one day late, then you are able to have unprotected sex right away.

    On the Other: Multiple Missed Pills

    Contraceptives are required if a pill is missed two or more days during or between pill cycles. At this time, you will need to avoid sex for seven consecutive days to avoid conceiving. The greatest chance of conceiving is by missing pills at the beginning or end of a cycle. If you often forget to take the pill, then you should always use contraceptives.

    Bottom Line

    To avoid pregnancy and to have unprotected sex right away, make sure you have not missed more than one pill. If you have missed more than one pill during the first or last week of your cycle, it will be best to use contraceptives for the next seven days following.

    You can have unprotected sex any time you would like, but be prepared to be called "Mommy."

    Never, you should never have unprotected sex no matter what unless you are trying to have a baby.

    You should never have unprotected sex unless both you and your partner intend to have a baby.
    Without that mutual agreement, you should always use two kinds of birth control.
    - Birth control pills + Condom
    - Condom + Safe Days Method
    - Safe Days Method + Birth Control Pills
    God gave you a brain but not using it is the same end result as not having a brain.
