Is Unprotected Intercourse Safe While On BC Pills?
I just started pill birth control on Sunday and I was wondering how long after starting birth control for the first time would if be okay to not wear a condom during sex if that were to happen on accident. And I have recently had green stools after taking the pill and I was wondering if that could be a side effect?

Hello,
Typically it is safe to have unprotected sex after starting birth control pills for a week.
Green stools are not a known side effect of birth control pills, so I would suspect another cause, such as a change in diet or viral gastroenteritis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
