The pill works after about 1 week, so while it's still possible to get pregnant, it's as unlikely as if you'd been on the pill for a year.
I just realized mine was a year past the expiration date, they still seem to be effective.
It could be almost immediately so don't assume you still have effective contraception, but those trying for a baby report a couple of months before normal service resumes. It depends upon the woman. It can take more than a year also.
i just started taking it, i got it from planned parenthood.. they say it is pretty effective and its pretty cheap..i have to get it without my parents knowing, so i dont have a choice on what kind i take... ive been asking around about the side effects, but everyone says something different.. so ill guess ill have to see what happens oh and also the lady told me to take my first pill the day i started my period and if i did, then it would be effective immediately.. but then other sites say different things depending on when you started taking it in your cycle The pill is 99% effective for everyone when taken everyday. About 8 out of 100 women will get pregnant each year if they don't always take the pill as directed.
Prednisone has very serious side affects. Make sure to consult your doctor often so he can moniter your health!
My mom was on the pill for longer then a year and she had me...so just use protection cause you never know
Shut your mouth
If taken perfectly, the pill can still allow breakthrough ovulation. If 1,000 couples use the pill perfectly over the course of a year, about three couples will experience a pregnancy. More commonly, the pill fails because people miss pills and forget to use a back up birth control method like abstaining from vaginal sex or using condoms.
My 3yr old daughter was on prednisolone for 2 days for bronchitis. The pharmacist advised us to give it to her after a meal to reduce stomach upset. I was recently on prednisone and my doctor advised me to take it before I ate
The hospital can give a 18 year old the morning after pill. At the age of 18 you are considered an adult.
you shouldn't take any steroid after 6 months to a year
While the purpose for most formulations of 'the pill' is to prevent ovulation, some forms of the pill do not prevent the egg from being released. The low-dose progesterone-only MiniPill is an example of this, it doesn't necessarily prevent ovulation but prevents the uterine linig from 'accepting' the egg so that implantation doesn't occur as well as causing the cervical mucus to thicken decreasing the ability of sperm to penetrate this barrier. This type of pill may not be as effective as the Progesterone-Estrogen combo pills. Over a year's time, 5-8 out of 100 typical couples using the Pill will experience an accidental pregnancy. The pill is an effective method of birth control but even missing 1 day increases the chances of becoming pregnant. So, in short, if you are on the pill, it isn't likely that you are ovulating, and even if you do ovulate, it should prevent the egg from being implanting into the uterine lining, as well as decreasing the ability of sperm to reach the egg and fertilize it.
