Hi! If you were my patient I would advise you that after two weeks of use you should be protected and no longer need condoms or other back up method. Before that time a condom would be a good idea. Condoms are always a good idea when starting a new relationship for protection from sexually transmitted dieases--pills don't protect against that. The progestin onley pill is slightly less effective that regular birth control pills but works quite well if taken appropriately. Good luck! 10:14:21 olive 2014/11/19 10:14:21 HI! If you were my patient I would probably repeat the pregnancy test and also check your thyroid prolacitn and FSH levels. It is possible that you may still begin to cycle regularly but typically that happens within the first three months off the pill. I would probably also prescribe progesterone to see if that would start a period for you. You may have a variant of PCOS. Probably best to check in with your health care provider. Good luck!
