Just wondering, my girlfriend started taking Ava Ed 30 on Friday 2nd August...Last night Wednesday 7th August (i.e. Day 6), we had unprotected sex and now I am so scared, what should I do or are our chances of being safe fairly alright?


P.s. she should have been told to use extra protection for the first month ...

Hi there. It really depends on when in her menstrual cycle she was when she started taking the pill. The rule of thumb is that for the first month of starting the pill you treat it as if there is no contraception. ie extra protection needed.
The only way to be sure there is no pregnancy is the morning-after pill which is not a great thing either..
From a long term health perspective, taking hormones is not the best choice of contraception anyway.
All the best
