OT: how long should you wait before having unprotected sex after starting the mini pill?

I have heard several different things:  the pill insert says to use a backup method for 48 hrs, the internet says 7-14 days, and the dr says a month!

I'd do the month to be safe. But then again, I'm a terrible pill taker so I'd skip that method altogether anyway! If you have trouble remembering to take a pill at a specific time daily, go back to the doc for another method.

My doctor said a month.
