1. If I am late (more than 3 hours) with only two pills out of a whole pack for a month am I in the 90% typical use rate or would that put me way lower and in great risk for pregnancy? 2. Do I wait two days or seven days in order to not use condoms and be protected once again after I was late on a m...

I have been juggling lots of different meds for depression and anxiety and have always been on time always with my progesterone only pills but in one packet I took two pills late (past the 3 hour mark) and it was towards my end of the pack both times , around 2 weeks apart each. It said to wait 2 da...

I have a question about what is considered late on the mini pilll and where I would be around the percentage spectrum of success. I take my pill always at 10 and some days a half hour late but never past the half hour mark and never more than once every two weeks. Would that make me almost on the pe...

So taking it half an hour to an hour late sometimes does effect the effectivness after all? I've heard woman say it completely changes it and my pamphlet for the pills say you have a three hour window so I'm just confused on if I have that three hour window or if I will get pregnant very easily if I...

Oh ok! Walking through those statistics that does make sense, thanks :D I think I need to stop reading on those blog sites as well haha And the only time I am ever late on my pill is by a half hour at most, I never am late past that and I have never ever missed a pill so that would put me in the per...

Also if I use this vitamin C serum on my face that's 20% vitamin C can that effect the pill or only if you ingest too much vitamin C?

Thank you :) And Ya that makes sense! It just seemed like at least 20 woman or more on each site had gotten pregnant and that worried me because my doctor said it is a very effective pill and yet all these woman are saying their getting pregnant from using it correctly and that scared me :/ It seeme...

I've been seeing on message boards woman saying they were only half an hour or even five minutes late and fell pregnant from being on the mini pill. I have been around half an hour late or less a few times during this month while on Errin progesterone only pill and I was wondering if that does make ...

I guess I need to not be so scared to say it that bluntly and matter of factly. I'll need to say something more like that because usually he sways me and I know that isn't healthy and shouldn't happen. He does give the option for pulling out but only if I finish him in other ways afterward so he's n...

Yes! That would really help me a lot actually! Because I sacrifice by taking this birth control and taking it perfectly to keep myself safe and he doesn't seem to want to do any of the Second back up methods that he can do to keep it extra safe no matter when I talk with him about it :/ so help woul...

Well, my boyfriend says he can't pull out so he always eliminates that and he we did try condomes but it wasn't good because be wasn't having a good time at all because be couldn't feel anything. So I'm at a loss with what I should do but you're right that I have bad anxiety and need that second bir...

And what if there was a day where we didn't use a condome and I had one time with the clumpy loose stool that was sort of watery but not fully and it was half an hour or so after taking my pill? Is it just when you have watery diarrhea for more than one time a day that it's ineffective?

I am currently taking a progesterone only mini pill. I take it everyday and never miss it and always take it at the same time or within the hour. Lately my water intake and food intake have been off and I workout a lot so my poo has tend to be way more mushy, sometimes clumpy and a bit watery but ne...

Do you think my two day brown spotting could have been my period by chance? I hear progestin pills tend to cause either no period or light bleeding?

Thank you so much for your time! :) I just have two more small questions and I'm done! 1. My doctor told me to use backup if I have sex while taking my UTI medication but she didnt say anything about how long or if I need to use backup after so I had sex two days after I was finished with my pills (...

Thank you! also I was wondering, my birth control causes lots of spotting/break through bleeding. I had at least two weeks of it this month after my period, could that make my period late or absent since lots of blood was already leaving the body before my period was due?

Hi! I use errin mini pill and have been for around 5 months. I take it everyday at 10 and the only times I am late is by half an hour at most. I normally have a period but it always comes around 35 or more days, making them late alot. This month I have had panic attacks everyday, a UTI infection (I ...
