The white pills in Apri contain no medication, and have no effect on how well the red pills work.
There are about 12 different kinds of birth control pills. if you missed one you should immediately start using an alternate form of birth control and call your obgyn/clinic and ask the doctor/nurse about what to do.
It depends on the type of birth control, usually the white.
It depends , reading below you will find your answer.How long have you been taking your birth control pills? If you have only been on birth control for less than 2 months, you may still be at risk of pregnancy while having unprotected intercourse during the week of the placebo pills.Do you properly take your birth control? If you properly take your birth control ;meaning that you take the pills every day at the same time each day, you are 99.9% protected from pregnancy. If you do not properly take the pills as directed you may increase your chances of becoming pregnant.Do you have spotting or breakthrough bleeding? If you do experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding, this can mean that you need a different dosage, typically a higher strength of birth control pills. This also means that the dosage you are currently are taking is not effective enough to prevent you from pregnancy. If you have experienced spotting or breakthrough bleeding for more than 3 months, you should see your physician to get the correct pills for you.Have you taken medication, such as antibiotics?If you have been taking antibiotics such as penicillin the effectiveness of your birth control will decrease. This also means that it would not be safe to have unprotected intercourse.If you have been taking birth control for more than 2 months, have properly been taking your birth control, have not experienced spotting or breakthrough bleeding as side effects and have not been taking antibiotics, you do not necessarily have to use a back up method, because you will still be protected from pregnancy during your placebo week.
The answer depends on the brand of pill you're taking. If it's Ortho Tricyclen or Ortho Tricyclen Lo, you should start with the white pill. If you're taking another brand, ask your halth care provider or pharmacist.
I'm not on the brand of birth control pill, but I find it's usual for my period to take up to 4 days to come once I start the white pills.
No. Sperm has nothing to do if it touches your vagina. As the pill will not let the sperm enter the fallopian tube (where your "eggs" are waiting to be fertilised). So, don't worry. It is safe to have sex if you're taking birth control pills.
When taking birth control pills the directions should be followed exactly as stated. With most pills now after 3 weeks worth of pills there are white blank pills to help you keep your place while you are on your period. (My mistake I think I deleted the previous answer. It disappeared and says I modified it)
yes it is completely normal.
If it is your placebo pill, yes. They are there to keep you in the habit of taking pills. If it's your regular pill, not so much unless you are looking to conceive.
If you are referring to birth control pills, they should be taken exactly as prescribed. If you take the pink and white pills out of order, it can throw off your period and not be as effective in preventing pregnancy.
Birth control pills are generally very effective if you take them regularly every day. The white pill is for the week where you don't need additional hormones, but it keeps you on a regimen. These are different from the morning after pills.
If that pill is round and white and the 81 is off red then it is an aspirin.
