josie54 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Just read the directions that come with your pill pack, or that are posted on the drugmaker's Web site. They'll tell you everything you need to know about risk of pregnancy (low if you take the pills exactly as directed, higher if you don't), as well as what to do if you miss a pill.

GreenEyedLady Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 The pill is pretty effective with a less than 1% failure rate...I have never heard of anyone getting pregnant on the pill unless they weren't using them as directed... Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Make sure you use a condom too. And if you really want to be safe, ask him not to cum inside you. Link to post Share on other sites

Walk Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Take the pills as close to the same time every day as you can. Don't skip days. If you do miss a day, then use other protection for a few weeks. Follow the instructions to a T, and when in doubt, ask your gynocologist. That's what the doctors are there for. Use the resource so you can be informed and safe. If you can't get information when you need it from your gynocologist, then find a better one. The ones I've stuck with are willing to answer any of my questions when I call, and even if they're busy, they call me back the same day to answer my questions. I used to be on the pill and we'd use a condom. Its hard sometimes to make sure to take the pill at the same time, and there were a few times I missed a day... having two types of protection allowed me enough peace of mind to enjoy sex with my bf. If your bf respects you, then he'll wear a condom. If he complains it's uncomfortable, then try different brands and styles til you two find one you like. And you can always remind him that it'll be really uncomfortable for both of you to have to change diapers and raise a kid. Thats always worked for me to get a guy to wear a condom.
