Hello. Since when do Slinda tablets work? 04.11 I had my Kyleen insert pulled out and From 01.01 I take slinda tablets, I took 1 on the first day of my period. I still have my period. The doctor ordered to protect yourself additionally 14 days from the first tablet and I read that you do not need to protect yourself additionally

If you started using contraception as prescribed on the first day of menstrual bleeding, you do not need additional mechanical contraception. Almost 2 months have passed between 4.11 and 1.01, so we consider that "you have not used hormonal contraception before (in the previous month)" and follow the above recommendations. Perhaps the doctor decided that "prudent, always insured" and simply preferred to recommend additional security. According to the mechanism of action of contraception, this is not necessary if it was actually 1 day of menstruation, and not possible spotting occurring since the discontinuation of the IUD. On the site we have a lot of useful articles about contraception: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/antykoncepcja-hormonalna https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje
