Can One Have Intercourse While On Birth Control Pills?
I had a nexplanon place this morning, and I was told to finish my current pill pack. She told me not to have intercourse for at least a month after the pill back ended. My question is, can I still have protected intercourse between now and the time my pill pack ends?

Dear Madam,
If you have started the pack earlier than day 2 of the cycle, you can safely have sexual intercourse; however if you have started the pack later, your protection against the pregnancy is not guaranteed. However, it was not necessary to observe absolute sexual abstinence during this month. You could have enjoyed your sexual life with some barrier method like condom (male or female). Now also you can have sexual contact with the use of condom.
I hope this makes you happy.
