You should call your doctor to get clarification of how to take your birth control pills. Birth control pills are supposed to be started on the Sunday after your period begins.
NEVER stop taking penicillin without a doctor's consent, regardless of which birth control pills you're taking, because infections will come back.
Right on the first day. It will take a month before the pills will be effective.
If your birth control pills give you a "sugar pill" for the last week of your cycle, it is OK to skip them, assuming you start back up after the right amount of days, usually after your period has come. However, not all birth control pills have sugar pills for those days. Some just have a lower dose pill, and skipping them could reduce the effectiveness.
If your pills are all the same dose of hormones for each day, then nothing. If you have a type of pill where different weeks have different doses of hormones, then you will need to use another form of birth control (while continuing to take your birth control pills in the right order) for this month, as there is a chance that you may ovulate that month. You do not want to take your placebo pills (the pills you take for 1 week when you are supposed to have your period) during the middle of your birth control pill cycle, as those pills offer no birth control protection. If that was the case, then you may get a surprise period in the middle of your cycle, and you will need to use another form of birth control in order to prevent pregnancy.
No, skipping your period with sugar pills has no effect on Pap smear results.
I'm on nitrofurantoin right now as well as birth control, and my doctor told me that while on the antibiotic my birth control pill is cancelled out, meaning its basically the same as using no protection at all.
Both are safe and effective to use to regulate your period. There are many types of birth control pills and some only contain progesterone (POP's) and some are combinations of progesterone and estrogen. Progesterone only pills are still birth control pills. Birth control pills, containing progesterone only or a combination of progesterone and estrogen will regulate your period and protect your from pregnancy! However, you must take your pills everyday and at the same time, otherwise your period will not regulate and you will put your risk of becoming pregnant. For further information on which type of pill is right for you, you must visit a physician (example; Planed Parenthood), and they will choose which method is right for you.
you will have to have your blood tested right after incident
I do have that problem...I get a great deal of pain..so I control it with birth control pills. although I am no Doctor I have had so many problems with this..
YES. You can get pregnant if you miss one at the right time of your cycle. You need to get in a comfortable daily routine of taking your pills so you remember to take them.
