Women during pregnancy generally worry that intake of contraceptives during pregnancy will harm the expectant baby. However, it is not true.

This period is applicable if the intake of the pill is begun at any time of the menstrual period. If the pills are started before the fifth day of the period, one need not wait for 7 days for its effect to begin.

A woman's menstrual cycle determines when she is most fertile and when she is not. The latter is deemed as a "safe" time to have sex without contraceptives since chances of conception are minimal. This entire cycle is governed by the delicate working of four hormones viz. luteinizing hormone, progesterone, estrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone. Disturbance in the working of these hormones, due to multiple factors like stress or certain medications changes the entire set paradigm of "safe" and "unsafe" time.
