Detailed Answer:
Hello , thanks for posting in Healthcaremagic.
Novelon is a form of Oral Contraceptive Pills which if properly used have very minimal chance of failure however properly taking the medication is required.
Every pack contains 21 pills. The first pill should be taken on the first day of onset of menstrual cycle, and go on with a pill daily till 21 days. Wait for your next cycle to begin and then start the second pack again from the first day of the next cycle and go on like this till you want to stop. Once you have started the pill you are protected to have safe sex no matter on which day you are having sex.
If any day you miss a pill take it at the earliest when you remember next day. Missing pills on 2 consecutive days exposes to risk and you have to use condom for rest of the cycle.
Hope this helps.

So for these 21 days one can have sex without the risk of being pregnant? Den once the 21 days period is over we can stop having the pill? Until the next cycle if incase we want to have sex?
Brief Answer:
no problem.
Detailed Answer:
In the days you are not taking pills that is after the 21 pills have ended and next cycle has not begun you are safe to have sex and you wont get pregnant. Thus you are protected in the first 21 days you are taking pill and also on the last few days ( after 21 days) when you are not taking the pills. In the last few days the pills are still working in the body.
no problem.
