Yes, I think that would be best for us and starting fresh with our relationship. Just talking this out and hearing back so quickly, and with honest, genuine feedback, means the world so much and has helped a lot!!!
Thank you Karyn!!

I would want him to understand that things like this happen when couples break up, but I also want him to know how important he is to me. I know that he would feel some sting of jealousy, and maybe anger, but I do not see it as necessary to the formation of a new relationship to tell him the things ...

Hey Guys! I am going to do my best to keep this very long and complicated story, short and straightforward. About 2 months ago, my boyfriend and I broke up after 3 years of dating. We remained close friends, went to prom together, and talked frequently. A few weeks after the break up, I distanced my...

My packet says to take the pills at about the same time everyday, so would you say that the hour difference due to daylight savings is a major factor for my pill taking?

not to mention that the week I am suppose to get my period, I traveled all the way from the east coast of the United States to the west coast!

That's much more comforting to know, although it is still frustrating! I know it is very unlikely to become pregnant if you take the pill everyday at roughly the same time (which I do). So hearing this makes me feel better! Do you think I should be concerned, or just realize my body is going to do f...

Hey guys, I've been on the pill for about 8 months and take my pill at 9pm everyday. When Daylight Savings rolled around I continued to take my pill at 9pm, knowing the hour change would not compromise the effectiveness. With that being said, I had unprotected intercourse once in the cycle, and the ...

Could you help explain to me why my withdrawal bleed was so light and short? I know I had a very very small risk because I am a perfect pill user and we use an additional backup method. I just am confused why my bleed was so similar to implantation bleeding. Could you help to shed some light please?

You're 100% right and I respect that. I was just curious about this situation because I take my pill religiously and don't understand why my bleeding is so light.

i have been taken the pill (junel) for 4 months now and take it within 5 minutes of the same time everyday and have never missed one. I do engage in unprotected intercourse with my boyfriend but he uses withdrawal as an additional method. On Tuesday (of my placebo week) I had some light bleeding and...

so if I take the pills around the same time everyday and don't miss any (or vomit them up), can I assume that they are effective regardless of condom use?

i've been on birth control for two months now and I am waiting to get my withdrawal bleed. In the directions, it says to wait a week to have unprotected sex when starting the pills. Does this mean wait a week after each start of the pills or just first starting them? Am I protected even if it's the ...

Ah thank you! I looked at my leaflet but was dissapointed when there were not any specific times for vomiting and absorption. So glad you guys are here

Hi! I'm on Junel Fe 21 day birth control and I usually take my pill around 9pm. The second to last day of my active pills (of my first pack) I took it around 8:30pm and then puked around 1:30am. During the 7 day break I got my withdrawal bleed and the next Sunday I was starting my pills my boyfriend...

thanks a bunch!!

Ok, I just completed my first month of 21 day birth control pills (Junel). I will take a pill everyday for three weeks and then on the fourth week I will not take anything. then the following week the process will repeat. my question is: is it safe to have sex (without condom protection) during thos...

Perfect! Thank you!!

Ok! Thank you guys! I am glad I have done all that I can do to lower my risk! Plan B is effective correct?

I did take EC, and I believe the condom broke because it began to "dry out". Broken condoms are very rare for us so I am glad to know why it failed and that I am protected.

The side of the condom ripped a small hole as my boyfriend was pulling out. He did not ejeaculate and his penis was covered except for a small hole on the side near the base. What should I do?

Ok, none of those things occurred, but it resembled and smelt similar to stool so I am confused on how it happened and what it was.

I woke up this morning and my underwear had some dark stuff on it but when I wipped it was red, so I assumed it was a period. when I took my tampon out it looked like it could be poop. Is there a reason for this? also can you respond to my last post, there was a response but it was totally random.

Thank you yet again for calming my nerves. I think the overload of stress I experienced this month has definitely contributed to the delay, and now my worries about my period's arrival only made it worse. But you believe that this delay is NOT pregnancy related? I am sorry to be redundant, I would j...

Ok, so, my period is 3 days late and I am starting to become worried and anxious. I have talked to my boyfriend and he as assured me that we used the condom perfectly (no slips or breaks) and that my period is coming. But still I cannot escape the fact that it is late. I did have final exams this mo...

I have looked at "Birth Control Bingo!" before, but not in depth. I will definitely look at it more closely and choose what option I think will work best for me. Of course I will have to talk to my mom about different methods. I think having another method of birth control (aside from cond...
