How Safe Is Taking Nordette Contraceptive Pill?
My girlfriend has been taken Nordette for approximately 1 month and a half, we didn t have full unprotected sex up until a month of her taken the pill. We continue having sex while she is on the pill, right now we believe she may be ovulating for the last couple of days in which we have had sex, shouldn t nordette stop the ovulation? Should a barrier be used besides the pill during this period?Thanks
