We looked it up but it said there was no chance of pregnancy because you are protected straight away but some sites I looked on said you will have total protection once your on the second packet? Is this true? I'm really scared, I really don't want risk of being pregnant! Help me please!!

It can make a difference but to be honest it's unlikely. Keep taking your pill and just do a pregnancy test in a week or so's time.

If you only did it for about 5 minutes then I really wouldnt worry about it - the chance if you getting pregnant without him actually ejaculating inside you are pretty low, especially when you have been taking the pill.
For the first 7 days you should use a condom but it does start working immediately, although it is not totally at its most effective.
I dont think you should worry, you wont be pregnant. If you keep on worrying there is a chance you wont have your period which will end up stressing you out even more, so just relax and stop thinking about it. If your period doesnt arrive, then take a test and take it from there.
Good luck!

Although it's possible that you are pregnant, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just be careful for the first month and use something extra until your body is used to it.

after you take your first pill you should be protected
but theres not a 100% protection rate, as your hormone levels would not have stablised, but after about 4 you should be protected enough. so i wouldnt spend all your time worrying about it :) what will be will be good luck

I'm fairly certain that you are only fully protected after two packets. There is a risk of getting pregnant when taking the first packet and especially if you have only taken a few pills. If you miss your next period I would take a home test and take things from there. Good luck.
