Avatar n tn I would say you do have a higher chance of getting pregnant during the placebo week than you normally would since this is your first month on the pill. The placebo week is meant to keep you on track with your pills. During the placebo week is when you are supposed to be menstruating. If you didnt m enstruate during that time you could possibly have ovulated. Even while you are on the pill I would recommend using a condom also...pills are not 100% effective.
Avatar n tn If you plan on breast feeding, breast feeding is a natural birth control. But once you get your first period, then you'll have to think about ieth control. Other than that, it will be a while before you start having sex again...unless you're having a c-section. Good luck and congratulations.
Avatar m tn my girlfriend wants me to have sex with her unprotected while she is on her period and doesn't want me to pull out, she just started birthcontrol and has been on it for a month, how much of a chance if i don't pull out does she of getting pregnant?
Avatar f tn Mirena, I believe is more effective than the pill while having unprotected sex

Avatar f tn Day one of your period is the first day of your cycle and then you begin having sex on cycle day 10 every other day for the next 10 days. good luck and hope you are pregnant soon.
7670156 tn?1401987192 Hi ladies, I know we're all pregnant and all, but yesterday at my check up my doctor said I should start thinking about what kind of birth control I want after my baby girl is here. I've never been on birth control (and still did very well, baby was planned) what do you ladies suggest worked best for you? I don't want to worry about another baby for a long while at least a few years. And that implant that goes in your arm scares me.
Avatar f tn had to get the string cut down numerous times bc everytime me and my hubby would have sex he could feel it and it hurt him so he didnt like having sex anymore... but having the string cut so many times to avoid that ment i had to get it surgically removed when i finally got it out bc the dr couldnt reach the string to pull it out.... but like anniebrooke said everyone is different bc my best friend loves hers and has had it in for 5 yrs and plans on getting a new one put in right after..
Avatar f tn s always a small risk of getting pregnant having unprotected sex while on birth control, and even more of a risk if your partner ejaculates inside of you. Putting this small risk aside to answer your question -- you will not get pregnant during the placebo pills if you have been taking your birth control continuously the entire month. There is a chance of pregnancy if you miss any of the white pills. You should take the one you missed with your second pill as soon as possible.
Avatar f tn What are the odds of that preventing pregnancy? Probably VERY slim, your body has to have time to get the B/C in your system, that can take up to a month. And it's pointless to take BC for two days then stop, if you're having sex, birth control should be an everyday thing, not a once in a while thing.
Avatar f tn does anyone know, when you start taking birth control, how long before it starts becoming effective? i mean, does it start working right away or do you need to be on it for a while before it works properly?
Avatar m tn I haven't had my cycle since being on nexplanon. I was curious if having brown discharge was normal after taking something to treat it.
Avatar f tn Hi I'm 20 years old I just had a baby about 9 weeks ago since I gave birth I only had sex 3 times after my 6week check up everything was fine for my 6week check up but when I have sex I bleed and its not heavy just spoting and it only last for about a couple of hours ..what's wrong with me?..I'm taking birth control the one u take every 3months and when I gave birth I bleed for the whole 6 weeks probably even 7 weeks . So why when I have sex I bleed?
Avatar f tn Ok and I will do that and its been a while since my and my friend had sex like years but my bf still wants wants to have sex I just came on my period today having my same pains like every cycle but I told him that I don't want to have sex again while on my period because it hurt really bad.
Avatar f tn I am planning to get rid of this IUD. Please help me if any one else having this kind of issues. Any other suggations for birth control.
1801864 tn?1318097993 I know that birth control can make you feel pregnant. But do you guys think I should get a pregnancy test? Me and my boyfriend have been having sex almost everyday and his been cumming inside me. and I was taking my birth control on time for a while but my life is getting stressed and I've been taking my birth control when ever I remember I have to take it. My tummy has cramp like feelings and my nipples are tender BUT I know that birth control can make that happen. SO what should I do.
Avatar f tn m on Yaz and i went to Hawaii june 2nd through june 10th and i was supposed to be on my period during that week but i double up on my birth control so i wouldnt have a period during vacation but before that i was sexually active with out protection and i had not taken my birth control at the same time those days. but i guess i was just wondering could you get pregnant during that time? are you fertile if you do that?
Avatar f tn How does birth control stay in your system after you stop taking it? I have been on the pill since is was 17 and i am now going to be 21 next month and I was on the same pill for 3 yrs roughly then switched to seasonique and have been on it for roughly a year. I am getting married in July of next year and i wanted to know when i should stop taking it soo that i could get pregnant around july?
Avatar f tn It is just taking your body a little while to get back on track. I decided with an ex bf that we wanted to try and have kids. I stopped taking my pills for a few weeks and when i decided that it wasnt a good time I just started taking them again. It took a couple months for my body to get back on track. I would be careful having intercourse for another month or so. there is a possibility that you can get pregnant. be patient and your body should be back to normal soon.
Avatar f tn Yes there a a few options, pill, shot, iud... they won'tstart u on birth control until your 6wk check up, you shouldn't be having sex before that time anyway.
Avatar m tn I have been on birth control for 16 days now today. I am on my second day in my third week. however, I had sex two days ago without using a condom. I take my pill irraguraly in the morning I take it a different times. I have never missed a day of taking it though. I am wondering if I could be pregnant. I am 16 years old and scared to death.

Avatar f tn m hoping to stay off of birth control this time and go with the natural method of birth control so I will be starting my bbt charting right after having my baby. I too plan on breastfeeding. I'm thinking i will also use opk's to help me out as well. I really don't want hormonal birth control or surgery but we don't really want any more kids either.
Avatar f tn Hi, Coco. Birth control is also an excellent way to keep your periods under control. Being on birth control does not mean in any way that you should have sex. In fact you should NOT have sex for at least a few years yet. The birth control won't hurt you, and you will always know when your period is due, which is very handy.
3718920 tn?1347957570 Why do you want to take birth control while pregnant? It's not good for the baby, and if you're pregnant, why prevent? Lol. Pregnancy is natures birth control.
Avatar f tn Hi, so I was on the birth control pill for only a month and had to stop taking it due to my insurance plan at work changed. Prior to being on it for that month I was on it off and on for quite a few months but missed pills here and there. Anyway I finished the pack and had my period but then had unprotected sex during one of my most fertile days. I'm curious how long it takes for the birth control to be out of my system?
