smart: I had sex 4 days ago, and i have been taking the mini pill at exactly the same time every day an everything, but i wanna stop taking it as its making me abit moody :\ but when's the best time to come off? And how long should i wait until its safe?How long after having unprotected sex can you stop taking the mini pill?Sperm can live a few days and an ova is good for about 24hours after it is fully released. The mini pill allows you to still ovulate but prevents any fertilized eggs from implanting. To be on the safe side I would say try taking your pills for another week at least. If you were to ovulate on the 5 day after sex you could have a joining of the sperm and egg.. so making sure your uterus is protected against implantation is still important for awhile. I'd also say talk to the pharmacist where you got your medication OR your doctor they would be able to give you exact time frame info for the exact medication you are taking.How long after having unprotected sex can you stop taking the mini pill?At least another week, just to be certain.
