That depends on the type of birth control.

It's usually a week or two but It does depend on both the type of birth control and, if it's the pill, your weight.

well acording to my gynocologist when you are done taking the first week of them you are fine...although some people beg to differ and say to wait about 3 months! Personally my husband and i have been having condomless sex for about....a month or so and i have been on the pill for 2 months or so....i also use spermicide just to be on the really safe side!!!
