Lisa Myers said:Technically, you’re still protected for just a few days after finishing your pack—maybe three or four. Your body doesn't realize you're stopping the pills yet. So, if you have sex on day seven, for instance, your body won't be able to block an ovulation that might happen in two days because you haven't started the next pack. I hope that makes sense. Generally speaking, fertility can actually spike during the first month. You might experience multiple ovulations, and you really shouldn't rely on tracking fertile windows until you see how your cycles settle in and whether they stay regular.

Yeah, I knew that, I just wasn't entirely sure what the situation would look like once I stopped taking it. Thanks.🙂

So, I finally kicked the Logest habit after two years... But here’s the thing I totally blanked on asking my OB-GYN: do these pills actually hang around and keep working for a bit after you stop taking them, or does the protection just vanish the second that last pill goes down? Like, am I still covered for maybe a month or something, or am I basically playing Russian roulette immediately?
