I've been on the pill for 6 days now. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend a couple of days ago after I'd finished my period. I started bleeding afterwards and thought nothing much of it, just that it may have been too soon. But I'm still bleeding, not heavily but spotting. I read the instructions for the pill I'm on, microgynon, and it states that you're protected immediately after taking the very first pill. But I'm still slightly worried, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
There is a chance that you could be pregnant, but it's less likely. I was always told to use another form of protection for a week if I'd just started.

I don't know what the bleeding was.

Take a pregnancy test in a wee while to stop you worrying.
 
Could be.

The pill needs time to build up it's anti-pregnancy effects in your body. The one my wife is on takes 4 weeks. There might be stronger ones that take effect from the first one but I'd be surprised.
