Yeah, he can,
but make sure you stay consistent and take them at the exact same time every day. 😍 😉

And don't bother tracking fertile windows; that concept doesn't exist while you're on the pill since you aren't ovulating anyway.🙂

Thanks for the reply! :-)
My only real worry is this brownish discharge; I'm terrified it might have actually been the first day of my period and I accidentally started the pill on day two... which would mean I wasn't protected for those first seven days.

Hey there,
So, I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, and my doctor put me on Belara pills. My period was running late, and for the last three days, I was dealing with this brownish discharge. Well, today the actual bleeding finally kicked in, so I’m planning to take my very first pill today—which essentially marks day one of my cycle. My big question is: am I protected from day one, or should I play it safe and use a backup method like condoms for the next seven days because of that weird spotting I had?
Also, just to be absolutely clear on the mechanics here—my partner can finish inside me, right?
