Thank you!

Hello Scarleteen! I just have a question about daylight savings and my combination birth control pill. I've been on the pill a little over a year and I can't remember what I've done for past daylight savings, I normally take my pill at 6:15am, should I take it at the new time of 7:15? Or stay at 6:1...

Thank you for your help!!

I forgot to say that it's a combination pill.

Okay, so if I take it at maybe 11-12 would I be in the safe time frame? Or by me taking it late totally decrease the effectiveness? I'm normally really good about taking it on the exact time as normal...

Hi, I have been on sprintec birth control for almost a year, I am going to start the third week of my pack and I am not going to be able to take my pill at my normal time tomorrow.. As long as I take it within 12 hours after 6:15, I should still be protected?
Thank you!

Yeah that makes sense. So it's kinda a waiting game now..

So the pill protected me then? And I will definitely have to talk with him and tell him we need snugger, tighter fitting condoms and that we need to be updated on our sti testing as well. Thank you.

I have taken my pill everyday at the same time.

Should I take plan b?

Hi scarleteen, I have taken my birth control pill regularly but today my boyfriend and I started off having protected sex but as he was about to ejaculate, he pulled out but the condom slipped off and he ejaculated around my vaginal area. Should I be concerned about pregnancy? Thank you for the help!

So taking it early doesn't matter or effect it's effectiveness?

Okay thank you!

Hello! I'm on the birth control pill sprintec and have been taking it everyday, however my boyfriend and I had protected sex today but the condom slipped off inside me and I pulled it out. He hadn't ejaculated yet but I'm wondering if im protected from pregnancy since we used two types of protection...

Hey! I have another question, I am taking sprintec and it's a combination pill, so does that mean if I take it anytime during the day that it will still be effective as long as I take the pill?

Okay thank you!!

Thank you! So should I take it at 7:15 which would be my regular 6:15? Just to clear that up?

Hi scarleteen,
Today I forgot about daylight savings and took my at 5:15am instead of 6:15am like normal, tomorrow morning should I take it at 7:15am since we spring forward? Will I get back on track to my normal time and still be protected?

Okay thank you.

Well my boyfriend and I always use condoms as well as the pill, and my boyfriend and I should probably go and get tested even though we've only been with each other, it would be a good idea.

They are mild, and come out of no where, I think there is a possibility of them being stress related because they only recently started towards the end of this week during exams. Could that happen?

I have been on sprintec for four months, they feel like menstrual cramps, I normally have cramps during my period or shortly before. My period is supposed to come not this week but next.

Hi, I was wondering if it's normal to have cramping on the pill, but not be on my period? I've taken all the birth control pills at the correct time, only being two hours late one day and have always used condoms. I have taken acetaminophen for a headache while I was on placebos and was wondering if...

Thank you so much!

Hi! I have been on sprintec birth control for going on four months, and during the first week of the fourth pack, I took the fifth pill two hours later than normal, I am normally very good about taking my pills at the same time everyday, but this one time I over slept and took it as soon as I rememb...
