Hi, I went on vacation and had my bc pills with me. When I took one today I noticed that the foil looked more popped out than usual. I did have them with me at all times and they were In a plastic bag that was in my purse which was in a bigger hand bag. I was outside in about 110 degrees but for a m...

I understand and do not mean in any way to disrespect the guidelines. I think you guys do a very nice thing by helping people out and I wouldn't want to disrespect that. Thank you for the answer I appreciate it and will be very careful with my questions.

Hi, I know I have been told in the past not to post questions about the pill etc. and I realize a lot of people just skip my post and won't answer it. I just want you to know that I did receive help for the stuff that went on and I don't think it's fair that I can't ask a question that's information...

They told me it's usually that cycle that it can mess with. I just wanted a second opinion from you guys. What do you think? I did we spoke about it. We didn't come to a place where we both agree and I have been sick and on the antibiotics now so I kind of am taking a break now.

Hi I was prescribed the antibiotic cipro for a UTI. I read your article that said it MAY interact with the birth control pill. I know I will need to back up this cycle. When I spoke to Doctor I was a bit confused about something. He said that if the antibiotic was to lower the efficacy of the pill i...

Ok thanks for your info. I hear that:) I will keep it in mind:) thanks so much

Hi, I a question. Regarding sex/orgasms. Let's say someone is on the pill and then has sex and the guy comes inside with no condom. If he finished her off and masterbates her after he came inside, is that a greater risk of her getting pregnant? In other words what I'm asking is if a women orgasms wi...

I didn't realiZe I forgot to answer this reply. I do have some other worries but not extreme ones. This worry has taken over my mind recently more than things have ever done before. I think it really resonated when you said that relationship worries often take on other clothes because that's really ...

I read somewhere that if you eat a meal after you take your bc pill and you eat it fast, you can rush the metabolism which can in turn make your pill not be digested well. Is this true? I know a lot of stuff online are not always accurate so I wanted to ask you guys.

Hi, I gueS I kind of agree with you..it doesn't really matter if I am fearful or not it's not the point. I have been giving some thought into that. However do you beleive when someone is not confident about a relationship they get more fearful? Like I start getting scared that irregular things are a...

Yes, I agree with you. It comes across my mind all the time. I want to move on and dump him but then I have a guilty conscious because I know I worry a lot so I wonder if I'm the issue. Either way he shouldn't be doing what he's doing anyway...I have to think about that. Also, about my other questio...

Sorry I didn't realize I had a response. Yes there are some ways like not listening to my Needa and diminishing my fears and making them sound foolish. He's also very into himself and his needs. I took your advice though and have been doing much better. I have another question for you. I'm on the pi...

So basically I don't know why I am. No I am not and I think I need to be. My bf keeps convincing me it's unnecessary but maybe I need to do what's good for me.

Hi, I have a question regarding my bc pills. Tonight I put down my bag and did not realized the carpet has just been cleaned and it was wet. My bag is a thin faux leather bag. My pills are in my bag. The floor was not drenched with water but it was definitely wet. Do you think this may have caused t...

Ok thanks so much. I'll ask the doctor that. I appreciate your help

Hi, I'm traveling soon on a flight that's 10 hours on the way there and 12 hours on the way home. I have heard a lot the risk of flying when on birth control and blood clots. I'm a nervous flyer to begin with. Do you think this is something I really need to worry about? The though of something terri...

Yes and if it will affect it

I did take more than one full pack forsure. I have spoken to my dr and my he ok'd it because of my extremely painful periods. He told me I can go upto a year but it's seems like my body starts staining after 3-4 months. I called him and he said its my body's way of telling me it needs a break and th...

Hi I had some heavy staining on the pill recently. I have been on antibiotics recently and feel that maybe thats the reason. Due to the fact that I'm on the pill continuously for awhile I decided to go onto the placebo pills. Is there a problem if you switch to the placebo pills when your heavily st...

I just keep reading such conflicting things on the Internet. Does it matter exactly which antibiotic I'm on? Hope you can clarify it for me!

The doctor said it is a UTI. He gave me antibiotics. I know there's a lot of talk about antibiotics and the pill losing effectiveness. What's the real deal on that? How long after do I need to double up on protection? Do the antibiotics stay in your system for awhile? Once you get a period and start...

Ok so better to stay away till I feel better. I will read the article. Thanks so much for explaining it all. I appreciate it.

I never though of that. Thanks for informing me. Would manual sex be ok and safe to do during the period of time till its cleared?

Ok moving forward I will avoid it until I know I'm clear. Do you think I could have made the situation any worse though? Is it dangerous Im any way?

Hi, I suspect I have a UTI. I went to the doctor and have a urine sample and am waiting on the lab results. In the meantime over the weekend I started feeling a little better. I drank a lot and its in its way out I think. I still have some pain after the bathroom but nothing in comparison to what it...
