Hi, I took my pill about an hour ago. I had a little bit of acid reflux, but didn't throw up. Does this mess with effectiveness?

Never mind - read your last sentence

Heather, I just saw your edit. Totally agree. Thanks!

What should I do with my "compromised (maybe)" ones?

Cool! Thanks so much

Oh, last question. I'm on a tri-phasic. I'm literally just punching out the pills I took and leaving off where I left off. I haven't missed any as my next one is due tonight. The heat mishap happened this morning after I took my pill on schedule last night. The next pill is the same color. There's n...

Thanks! There definitely was slight condensation and the pack was warm to touch. It probably wasn't warranted, but I refilled it since the pharmacist suggested to be safe. My insurance only covers once a month, but it was only 20 bucks out of pocket. Not bad for peace of mind. I'm starting off the p...

This is sort of a paranoid question. I packed my bags to go to my parents. I had my bc pills in their sleeve inside of another makeup bag. I straightened my hair and then let the straightener cool a bit (not all the way), and threw it in my bag. While I was driving (20 mins) the straightener leaned ...

Hi all, I'm not worried about a pregnancy scare, I just need info in general. What's the main difference between a withdrawal bleed and a period? I read in another forum that having a withdrawal bleed each month does not indicate that you are not pregnant, but I have a hard time wrapping my head aro...

Cool! This was really helpful, thank you. I was concerned because I had a few random days of breakthrough bleeding this month. No new medications, no missed or late pills. (I DID take Plan B a few days before I started my new pack, though). I used backup for the first 7 days of the pack, too. I've b...

I've read that grapefruit juice and BCPs can interact. Can you tell me how? Is it something I need to worry about in the real world? I mix grapefruit in my drinks and probably drink it once a month.

Thanks!

Hi! I posted a few weeks back about a "risk." I got my period one day late and it was normal. I assumed plan b worked. I started my pill pack one day earlier than usual to only have a 7 day hormone break just in case I'm two weeks into my pill. I've taken it at the same time each day and h...

Thank you. I wanted to update this for other paranoid chicks who find this post. I'm actually really glad about the boundaries set because it helped me relax and stop thinking about it as much. Anyway, I started my period last night. It's much lighter than usual, but it's on time with cramps and eve...

Thank you.

I checked my pill packet and it said 3-4 hours for absorption. Still no sign of my period and I start my pills tomorrow Should I be worried? Are the packets more conservative? Should I start my pills tomorrow

I'm sorry to be such a pest, I know there are so many other users to help.

I'm really nervous because my period was starting Wednesday, I took plan b. And now my cm is clear like it always is. Can it make me skip my period? I'm freaking out.

I was reading online how missing the last active pill in the pack is the WORST and puts me at high risk. I'm trying to wrap my head around that. I know the rule is you shouldn't go more than 7 days without hormones. So, with that logic, I should start my next pill pack early and it would have never ...

Alright. Sounds like I did everything I could possibly do.

I'm just sitting around waiting for my period to start again. I was spotting yesterday and when I took Plan B, it just stopped which was quite annoying.

When can I test?

Thanks, I'm really trying. I'm pretty upset at the care I received at the pharmacist. He first told me that if I feel pregnancy symptoms, I can just take Plan B and it will take care of it. I told him, "no, it works in 72 hours only" and then he tried to tell me again that wasn't true. Als...

Thank you. I'm assuming my period will not come as expected, correct?

Also - I want to add, I'm usually VERY good with my pills. This is the only problem I've had and I thought I was doing it all right.

Thanks, Heather! I called my pharmacist (my doctor was unreachable) and she said I was at risk for pregnancy since it was the last pill of my pack. So I got Plan B since I was in my 72 hour window. I got busy at work and took it around hour 75. Would that make a difference? I was also spotting when ...

And it was my last active pill before my placebos, so I couldn't make it up.

Omg. Thank you. The pharmacist told me I'm in extreme risk of pregnancy since I was late and threw it up. I'm so conflicted. I'm just nearing my 72 hour window. What should I do?

Does it make any difference that I missed my pill by 8 hours? We have not had sex since. I am really conflicted because my period is soon but I have plan b ready. I have about 2 more hours to take it.

Hi, I think this is straightforward. I may be compromised from vomiting after taking my pill. Here is my timeline. I take my pills at night. Saturday - took my second to last pill in my pack. Sunday - had unprotected sex with ejaculation in the morning. I didn't take my pill Sunday night. I took it ...
