I started taking the pill last month--is it immediately effective? I started taking it a day or two after my last period ended. Also, I was on antibiotics. Does anyone know how effective the pill is while taking antibiotics? (percentages?)

Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Some antibiotics might decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Depending on the brand, some women use a condom for the first week. You should discuss this with your doctor.
Best,
Daisy
