Taking Novelon And Contraceptive Pill. When Can I Have Unprotected Sex?

I am having my first ever doze of Novelon from yesterday ( that s 2nd October 2013), which happens also to be the first day of my menstrual circle. Please do let me know as to when I shall start being safe after having this contraceptive pill. Some of my friends said that its after the first 5 days that I shall be safe and can have unprotected sex once I continue using Novelon? Is that true? Secondly I am 22+ years of age, will continuing Novelon over the months affect my future desires of having a normal pregnancy. How long can I continue using Novelon under my present social circumstance in order to have unprotected sex with my partner , since we are not getting married pretty soon, Some of my friends says that I can continue Novekon for 6 months and then stop it for 3 months and then start again and continue this process over the years to keep my fertility normal, is that true? Request you help urgently. Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If you use the contraceptive pills from the first day of the cycle to completion of the pack as per the guidelines it will give protection throughout the month.

So you can have intercourse during any day of the cycle.
Usually during initial days of the menstrual cycle, ovulation will not occur.
So no need to worry.
You can use contraceptive pills for limited period like 1 to 2 years without any break.
Usually usage for limited period of time may not lead to any major problems.
After stopping the pills within few months you can get your regular cycles and can plan for pregnancy.
Take care.
