Thank you! I haven't had any sexual encounters with my boyfriend since this, so about 2.5 weeks of no sexual contact. I just get nervous whenever I start having side effects from my BC! I had to switch pills almost 2 months ago because I kept experiencing new symptoms non-stop for almost for months ...

Hi all~ I have a question that I haven't been able to get a clear answer on. I was reading the booklet that comes with my birth control. It says that starting a new pill pack late could cause pregnancy but it does not specify what "late" means... This makes me confused. Sometimes I might s...

Hey Scarleteen, Regarding sex on the pill, if you have sex on the 3rd week of your active pills could you still possibly be pregnant even if you have your period the next week?

I am on Blisovi fe 1/20 and have been since Novem...

My last check-up was my annual with my NP in the beginning of December, before I had sex. When I went to the doctor (the same time I was told I had a UTI) a sample of my urine was taken to test for STDs, and the results came back negative. My partner has also been checked and has no STDs either.

Hi all, My last 2 cycles I've been getting abdominal & back pain during the middle of my cycle while on the birth control pill Blisovi Fe 1-20. I've been on this BC for 3 months. Like a lot of you, I was on Gildess Fe 1-20 until it was recalled. I had to take a gap month without BC pills because...
