azithromycin birth control effectiveness

I recently had unprotected sex and I wanted to make sure my birth control actually works. I’ve had it in for a year and a half, I’m 5’5 and 330lbs. I read that in obese women it may be less effective over time so I was just wondering. Thanks!

A related discussion, <a href="/posts/Birth-Control-Contraception-/I-think-Im-pregnant-on-birth-control-/show/2625641">I think I'm pregnant on birth control </a> was started.

If I haven't take my birth control at the same time everyday for 2 weeks are the risks of pregnancy increased?

Go to planned parenthood website and look at the birth control. They have a list of all the birth controls the effectiveness and pros and cons. It helped me decide that condoms and the pill is best for me.

I heard that Klonopin may decrease the effectiveness of the birth control patch. Is this true? Has anyone ever taken the two together?

What's the liklihood of becoming pregnant when youre on birth control and you skip a few days or don't always take it on time and u have unprotected sex?

It is recommended that someone starting on the "birth control pill" waits 2 full menstrual cycles before relying solely on it for birth control. Condoms are encouraged until completion of the second cycle. And remember that the "pill" isn't 100% effective, only 98% and doesn't provide any protection against STD's. Also when taking any antibiotics with the pill, it lowers the effectiveness and so does having diarrhea or vomiting as it is not absorbed in the system.

antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. You should use a back up method of protection such as condoms while you are taking the antibiotics. Other than that there aren't any interactions between the two.

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control/birth-control-effectiveness-chart-22710.htm Have you ever been late for your period before? Most women get their period during the placebo week. Are you taking the 21 or 28 day pack? I usually start the exact same day, on a Wednesday, during the placebo week but I have had my period start a day before or a day late. When I was a teenager, my period was always on a Sunday.

Hi, I was wondering if I can store my birth control pills in a pill finder (I have many other pills to take and doing it this way makes it much easier to keep track of what pills I've taken and when). I was recently told that removing the birth control from its bubble package with decrease the effectiveness, so it's really important that I know whether or not this is true. I have a pituitary adenoma and the pills are necessary to keep my periods regulated. Please help me! Thank you!

My girlfriend has been on birth control for about a month now. We had sex on 11-17-12 and She was expecting her period to be on 11-20-12! She says she feels the usual symptoms as if she would be starting her period but yet it hasn't started yet. Could this be the birth control altering her cycle? Or does this mean she's pregnant? I need some information on what to expect and I need answers pleeeeassseee!!!

I was told it is like missing a bc pill. Put it back in as soon as possible. Like with the pill take as soon as you can after being forgotten .

Ive heard conflicting information. Will the Z Pack reduce the effectiveness of my birth control pills?

Thank you evergbody! I will definitely be looking into a few of these :) & for those of you that suggested condoms thanks but there's a reason I don't want that to be our only form of birth control.

I just received my chlamydia treatment in the form of 4 tablets to be taken in one dose of Azithromycin. I starting menstruating today and I didnt know if there would be any reason this would affect the effectiveness of the drug. Also my partner was just treated yesterday...How long before we can resume having sex?

I have some info on my profile about breastfeeding as a form of birth control. It's in my 'journals'. My midwife told me that estrogen free birth control is the safest while nursing. Estrogen can dry up your milk and if it doesn't, might cause issues with baby. Estrogen free versions include the paragaurd iud, the depo shot, and the 'mini pill' (progesterone only daily pill). I'd definitely decide what you want to do before baby comes!

I continued to take the birth control while i took the antibiotics, which i know antibiotics lowers the effectiveness of the BC but will a few days after you stop taking the antibiotics the birth control be effective? or how long?

I just had my second daughter in sept, and I go in the morning on Monday for my 6 week exam to get released back to work and get back on birth control. I don't want anymore kids but my doctor and basically all the drs at the hospital in my city won't tie your tubes when your my age because they say you're too young and the reversal can cause more problems should you choose to have more later (I'm 23 btw).

efficacy of the 2 gram single dose of azithromycin? Is this still an effective regiment for gonorrhea and / or chlamydia, NGU, etc.? Are there particular cases or reasons for the patients where this treatment has started to fail? Thank you.
