I've heard that you should really use a alternative method of birth control until you start your next birth control cycle.  The effectiveness of the pills is a trickle-down cycle.  You get the most drugs out of the pill in the beginning and less and less as your cycle goes on.\nAntibiotics reduce the effectiveness of the pill and you won't build up your "protection" again until you start your next pill cycle.\nUse a condom just to be safe.

I'm on the low-dose pill Mircette.  It's supposed to be good for some side effects, like breakthrough bleeding, because you only have two completely hormone-free days.  Being a low-dose pill, though, it is especially important to take it at exactly the same time every day.  I haven't had any side effects from it.  My first pill was Ortho Tri Cyclen and it made me depressed.  I also gained 10 pounds on Ortho Tri.\n\nThere's no birth control method that's perfect for everyone.  Even with the pill, everyone reacts differently to every pill.  It is very much a trial and error process.\n\nSome things you need to think about when you pick a method of contraception:\n\nDo you want a hormonal method?  Anything with hormones is far more effective than barrier methods, but it can also have side effects.  Barrier methods are cheaper and have no side effects (unless you're allergic to latex or spermicide), but they aren't as effective.\n\nCan you remember to take a pill at the same time every day?  If not, consider a barrier method or a non-pill hormonal method.\n\nDo you want something that you only use when you have sex?  If so, go with a barrier--like a condom or diaphragm.\n\nWhat can you afford?  Condoms are pretty cheap.  Depending on where you get it, the pill or ring can be quite affordable.\n\nHow long do you want it to last?  Usually you can get pregnant very soon after stopping the pill or removing the ring.  For barrier methods you can get pregnant anytime you don't use them.  The shot or implant will last longer.\n\nHow cooperative is your partner?  He would have to agree to using condoms.  Other methods of contraception are controlled by the woman.\n\nAre you and your partner both sure that you're free of STDs?  Only the condom provides protection from STDs.

UMMM if you take it right and don't use antibiotics without extra protection yes you can get pregnant while on the pill.  Depoprovera is more affective,  I have heard of only a few cases where women got pregnat using this form of birthcontrol.  Others I am not too sure about.  Ask you doctor.

Most likely this will not be a problem if you take two pills the next day, but remember that missing a day reduces the effectiveness of the pill. You now have a higher chance of pregnancy this month (only slightly higher). The instructions included with a pill refill pack suggest that if you forget to take a pill one day, make sure you are using a second method of protection (condem, withdrawal, sponge) for the next week. If this happens again, which I'm sure it will because no one is perfect, make sure you use protection.

I was on lexapro and the pill at the same time w/ no problems. But definatly check with your doctor, interations may be different for different birth control pills. Best to double check with your doctor and be completely sure.

You could try birthcontrol but it is not a gaurantee.I know personally I gained a half inch or so from this.You will just have to try it and find out.

You may not get them to be "exactly" on the 3rd, but if you take birth control pills and time it right (calculate a start time that you will take sugar pills  give or take a week before) you can get pretty close.  I wouldn't recommend too much tampering with your body's time of the month, but this is a way to help you have more control.  Talk to your doctor.

I would take them again but you need to be careful and use other methods of protection until you've had a week back on the pill. Another tip, what about a coil, mirena coil, it releases progesterone so you won't forget to take your pill again. Bit undignified at first but I wouldn't look back.

See your doctor. Hormonal birth control really helps.

I don't believe you can. Your pill needs to be a monophasic pill. I believe your particular brand is a tri-phasic. Also if you plan on a trip in a few weeks you would most likely will not have enough time to get your body used to the new dosage. You should talk to your doctor as to the best pill for you but there are now so many  choices that if you would like to determine your cycle I strongly advise talking to your doctor about switching to a  monophasic pill. This will alow you to have your period about every 3rd or 4th month. That's only about 4 a year!

A lot of women use birth control for just that reason. You're going to have to talk to your doctor about this, since you're taking those medications.

I got pregnant twice while taking birth control pills and never missed one. It happens!

Yes the dosage comes from the pills, the placebos are used to space them out correctly as this would be difficult unless you just take on everyday.

1 pill = ok.\n2 pill = good.\nmore than 4 pill = dangerous.\nBeware.\nAsk a doctor first according to your needs!

no. i was told by my doc wen i started taking it that it wasnt healthy sskipping the sugar pills more than twice. ou will find most girls cant skip that much without bleeding. its natural and your body will eventually get rid of it no matter how long you u want to skip.
