Ashley,

It is best to be on the OCP for one full month prior to having intercourse. The inserts say one week, but what you will find in the archives on this forum and the women's health forum, is to wait a month.

It is always best to use latex condoms to help protect against STD's, including AIDS.

I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional. The information I share is based on what I have experienced personally or what I have learned.
