I tried to research LH and birth control but I am still confused. Is it normal to still have LH in your body when on birth control? Or does the presence of LH indicate that I need a stronger pill and that mine is not effective in pregnancy protection?

I guess what I am asking is how does the pill exactly affect LH? Is it normal to still have some LH in your system or should you have absolutely no LH in your system? I honestly love taking my pill. I like being in control of my pregnancy protection. I guess I just was never entirely taught about wh...

Hello, I wrote a topic the other week about breakthrough bleeding on the pill. I was concerned that the breakthrough bleeding meant that my pill's effectiveness in pregnancy protection was decreased due to this breakthrough bleeding. Even though I take a pill at literally the same time every day plu...

Awesome, thank yo!

So basically coughing up is not the same as the vomiting protocol for pills then, especially if it was after 2 hours? I. Other words, no need to take another pill?

Great, thank you so much! The only other thing I can think of that May have impacted something is that a couple days ago, I took my pill at the normal time. However, 2 hours later, I was eating chips and one got caught in my throat. I was able to cough and was fine, but could it be possible to have ...

The bleed is not really heavy but not light either and mostly brown. I understand that breakthrough bleeding is c...

Even though these instances happened back to back within two days? Thank you so much for the quick reply too!

Perfect! So plan b in this case would not be necessary?

Hello there! This past Saturday, I took my birth control at the regular time of 10 am, had sex with boyfriend without a condom, and at around midnight, so at least 12 hours after taking my pill,I had horrible vomiting. The next morning, Sunday morning, instead of taking my pill at 10 am, I took my p...

Makes wonderful sense. Thank you, Mo!

Thank you so much for your reply! So being on my combination pill, with my religious use of the pill, puts me at a good protection against pregnancy? I am asking this also because we are interested in not using condoms anymore. We will still pull out and I trust myself with how I take the pill. We h...

This morning, my boyfriend and I had sex. He used a condom, pulled out, and then took off the condom to ejaculate on my back. This surprised me, and I immediately got up without thinking that it would drip down my buttocks. So because I felt the semen drip down my anus, and potentially contacting my...
