Hi! I have a question about whether or not these scenarios would affect my pill: 1.) Two days ago, I took my pill normally and around 3 hours later I had one "loose" or "watery" stool. But that was it. I believe I ate something around 30 mins before the incident that upset my sto...

I feel like I've definitley gotten better with my anxiety even though it may not sound like it. :) It's just so weird to trust a tiny tablet but I'm getting better...slowly. The thing is, I 100% want to be able to have sex without those little worries because I know I'm in a wonderful relationship a...

Update! :) After I took my tenth pill in this new pack I decided to have sex without a condom (this was yesterday) and I had my partner pull out way in advance. I'm not too worried because on this new pack I haven't missed any pills and I've only taken one about an hour and a half to two ours tops f...

So one last thing- I'm eight days into my new pack and if I did decide to have sex any time after without a condom, I should be fully protected again, right? I'd definitely use withdrawal along with the pill

Haha thanks so much! And yes we're all good on our STI testing so if we did go without a condom I wouldn't be too worried about that.

No problem! So I will take my pills perfectly and wait until after a week to have sex on this cycle just to be extra safe. My partner and I really want to experiment without a condom this time but I'm not sure now that I missed that pill last cycle. I was thinking of backing up with withdrawal and s...

Thanks everyone! So my protection from my new pack of pills I'm on now could be compromised just because I missed the second to last active pill in my last pack? I didn't think I could ovulate on that day that I missed my pill because 2 days later I got my period like normal...but I guess anything c...

Hi again! So I've just started my new pack of pills (tri-sprintec) this last Sunday (so about 5-6 days ago) so far I've taken my pills on time. I've been on this pill for about 4 months and I've taken it perfectly every time except.... Before I started this new pack last Sunday, I completely missed ...

Hi again! I was just wondering if taking a vitamin c supplement would greatly decrease my pill's effectiveness. I read that vitamin c increases estrogen levels and since I'm getting ready to take the second pill in my new pack tonight, that shouldn't be a problem because my estrogen levels are suppo...

Okay, thank you all so much!!

Okay, thank you! I have started my withdrawal bleed bow! Phew! I do have one more question though about my pills. So I've been on tri sprintec for 2 months but today the pharmacy switched me to tri-previfem which is basically the same thing. They're both generic for trinessa so they have the same in...

Hi! :) Yes last month when I went to my doctor I was going to ask to get tested but since I got my period, I didn't. So I since then had safe sex two more times and now this month I'm nervously waiting for my 2nd withdrawal bleed. I know I shouldn't be worried because we used 3 methods and normally ...

I am so worried now. On August 31st I started my birth control pills (tri sprintec). It is the first pill I've ever been on. A few days after I had protected sex with a condom and he withdrew way in advance. I had my period at the end of September on a Wednesday and all was fine. I had sex again on ...

First of all, thank you SO MUCH for this site!! It's so incredibly helpful. Anyway, I have a few questions but here is some background info to go first. My wonderful boyfriend and I decided to have sex 2 days ago. Friday night to be exact. We used freshly bought condoms that won't expire until 2017....
