You haven't been taking your pill properly should you worry about being pregnant?

Yes! You should really worry about becoming pregnant, or currently being pregnant. Birth control pills are only 99.9% effective when taken every day at the same time each day. If you miss a day of pills, you should double up the pills; meaning, next day take 2. If you miss more than 3 pills you need to quickly use a back-up method; example: Plan B, if you had unprotected sex within 78 hours and have missed pills. You should really take a pregnancy test because you have not been fully protected because you have not been properly taken your birth control pills as directed.

Can you chew the birth control pill?

Birth control pills are taken by mouth and swallowed with a liquid. In late 2003, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a spearmint-flavored chewable birth control pill called Ovcon 35. These pills contain the same hormones, progestin and estrogen, that are present in standard birth control pills. Packages contain 21 active pills and 7 inactive pills to be taken throughout one menstrual cycle. You may chew the pills or swallow them whole. If you chew the pill, you should drink 8 ounces of water afterward to make sure the full dose reaches your stomach. The chewable version has similar side effects to other birth control pills, such as an increased risk for blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes. It works just as well.
