Should I Use Protection While Using Minerva Pills?
I m using minerva 35 pills, I have been using it for 8 days now i started using it on the first day of my period. My question is since on my pack the first pill is a non active one followed by an active ones, do I still need to use protection? How long should I wait before it is active?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Protection from conception/pregnancy begins 48 hours after the first dose and so in my opinion you are protected. But it is your personal choice to continue using secondary protection like condoms.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
