Generally, if you throw up less than 2-3 hours after taking a pill, you should assume that the pill may not have made it into your system. So you would count that as a missed pill. You could take two pills today and then see if you can get an extra pack from your doctor OR let your inactive pills st...

You can start your next pill pack at the time you want to be taking it, that's not a problem. Just make sure you don't forget to take the pill since you're changing times

Everyone's bodies are different, so side effects range widely. Personally, I got mine inserted in August of this past year. I have longer periods of spotting but lighter shorter regular bleeds. I've found I like it better than any of the other methods I've tried, so hopefully your experience is posi...

IthilienDude: I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to also jump into this discussion. First and foremost, I'd like to also add to the chain of hugs that is growing. You have a strength you don't even realize you possess, and I hope in time you realize how amazing your fight really is. I see that you...

Making sure your first day's pill is taken is important for continued protection, and remembering that sperm can live for days in hospitable environments, risk would be lower but not zero should your body ovulate soon after a withdrawal bleed for whatever reason. (Also, we always suggest per the res...

Also, some of the sporty bras when paired with a tight cami or tanktop type shirt can work as well. I used to have that issue (also a large cup size) and found that when I have breast tenderness with hormones a good sports bra with my tight cami shirt gives me enough support to be comfortable and wo...

Also know, it's okay to let people know they should not make assumptions about anyone's medical needs or reasons for taking any medication. In addition to what Al said (which I think is great) you can let them know that they can research reasons (including things like acne, period length, heaviness ...

Okay all- everyone has their body complaints, and we had one of these before but it's always a good one to have: what do you ABSOLUTELY LOVE about your body right now? Positives only... And go!

Making the list is a good idea. As well, a lot of companies can give you assistance in their end with finding providers with your zip code when their services aren't working for you. In the meantime, it's especially important you're finding time for things that really just make you feel good, even i...

Have you thought of looking into support groups in your area? Or even other groups that may be of interest to the both of you that may A) get you both put and about a bit, but also B) give you some time together with others that have similar interests. Some other things that at times can help are th...

Have you thought about just asking him? Letting him know that you still have feelings and really need to have clear boundaries of he does not? The feelings we have for someone don't just run off because they don't feel the same way about us, but how we handle them varies depending on the person and ...

It's no question- sexual health is that one often left by the wayside if something's not making you think there's a problem. So heading I to March- what are you going to do for your sexual healthy self? Are you going to make that appoint for STI screening you didn't have time for before? Are you goi...

Looking back, I can honestly say that so e of their words stuck. In some ways I feel like I should have known better- I worked wit ST a while and I taught sex ed. But then I realize just how good they are at suckering ppl in when they get someone with my background. And then the horror hits of what ...

As we answered in text, it's really important when you have a question on onteractions woth medications to ask your doctor or pharmacist. Since it is a weekend it would be best to call the pharmacy. Also, please keep to one service with questions. Our answers will be the same and really it helps us ...

Okay, so I have to say my big new thing is women slamming on men on the name of feminism on FB. Feminism isn't about breaking apart men and those that ID as men but empowering women and those that ID as women. It gives a bad name to what it should be.

You know, everyone has things that make them feel better. For sure we have a lot of people we help every day. That doesn't mean though that we don't wonder about people we talk to that we know are still making steps at working on things. So know it's absolutely okay to do an "I'm still around w...

Honestly- for everyone is is really just so different and totally based on who you are and also how people are around you. I wish I could say you'll know for sure when you're ready but you may not at first or even for a while. And when you're ready you may still want to have some other people that k...

Anyone else see this and automatically start singing "Baby don't hurt me..."? Love to me is complicated yet easy at the same time. It's complicated to explain to someone that doesn't get it, see it, or understand t about your relationship. It's possible that they never will and you may not...

It doesn't sound like it would hurt anything to ask her to meet up or go out again. If she's interested she will . Too? Sometimes people just aren't always that amazing at keeping on contact during the busy summer/break times.

So a lot of people are probably wondering what the CPC trick is. if you've been there you know- if you haven't, here's to hoping you never are. Many places list themselves as pro-choice or women's rights places, but when you get in the door you find they're focused in making women choose adoption or...

Wanted to make sure folks were aware of our policies around choice, including at the boards. Why are we pro-choice? The short answer is that we do not feel that any person, group, community or culture can consider those who can become pregnant as equally human and whole, with as much right to everyt...

Whether you were trying to become pregnant, are excited a test came back positive, are thinking about your options or are scared and not sure what to do or where to turn pregnancy can be scary.
