Birth Control Storage

Dear Scarleteen,
I usually carry my combination birth control pills in my purse when I'm on the go. This recent cold weather had made me wonder - is it ok to carry pill packs in my purse during cold weather? Or could this reduce their efficacy? My pill pack insert says nothing about it and I was just curious. Thank you so much in advance!

That's fine, presuming you and your purse are not out in freezing temperatures for hours at a time. Really, a good rule of thumb is generally that if you can be out at a given temperature and not very quickly get ill or feel pretty darn bad yourself, so can your birth control pill.

-12 walking outside for 7 mins. My pills were in my purse. Will this be ok?
