Slight cramps, contraception query
I began the combined birth control pill on the second day of my period, and then had unprotected sex 4 days after. I was wondering if the pill was immediately effective as I’ve been having slight cramps and nausea. Is this a birth control side effect or was the pill infective causing pregnancy?
