Okay so I have been on microgestin FE 1/20 for 2 weeks now. I actually started taking it on a random Sunday so first thing I wanted to know would it still protect me even though I didn’t start it before my period? My next question is me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex last night and he came inside twice. Do I have a chance of getting pregnant I already know it’s not a 100% affective but because I didn’t take my BC the appropriate time and I’ve only been on it for two weeks would that be a problem?

Yes. The pill requires one whole month before its effective. Plus if you haven't been taking it appropriately, its not effective. It's the same as having sex without any contraception. If you are concerned about pregnancy, I would recommend you take plan B.

well I have been taking it on time I have not missed a day and i always take it right before i leave to work in the morning. I guess the fact that i didnt start it right after my period I was just curious if that was a big problem.

When you started taking it doesn't matter. The fact it hasn't been one month means you are not protected, at all.

Actually it does matter. If you start it right after your period it does stop ovulation and you can't get pregnant. If you start it any other time it's suggested to use a condom.

Not necessarily. You can ovulate while on your period. If your body has already released an egg, the pill will not prevent fertilization. That is why when starting the pill or if you miss a day, you need to used backup for one month

Not according to doctors or instructions that come with the pill. Partially since it does more than stop ovulation. Generally the suggestion is just use a backup method for only 7 days.
