you shouldn't at all. but you can actually take your chances and have unprotected sec. It matters what Birth Control you are on. I know a friend that got pregnant on the pill and a friend that got pregnant on the patch. 7-10 days
For as long as you want.
There is no time limit, and no medical reason to "take a break."
You can take birth control pills as long as you want to avoid pregnancy. There is no time limit, no medical need to "take a break," and no effect on future fertility. However, sexually transmissible infections can affect future fertility, so it's important to use condoms to lower the risk of getting an infection.
No.
I will have to disagree with what the person said above.
A female can be on Birth control form when she is a young adolescent to when she if a full grown woman.It can have its negatives.
Being on birth control for years can lead to infertility. This case can be rare (depends on type of birth control) but it is possible and it does happen. In most cases it is just harder to get pregnant if you ever plan to get off birth control and get pregnant.
You can be on the pill for as long or as little as you want. Its best to discuss this with your doctor though.
Yes. If it wasn't, your doctor would stop writing the prescription. It just reduces the lining of your uterus, which is not harmful. There have been inconclusive studies that suggest the pill increases the risk for heart attacks and strokes, but it hasn't been proven yet.
For as long as you want to take it but its always best to discuss this with your doctor beforehand.
There really isn't a "too long." The pill works by basically fooling your body into thinking it's pregnant so you don't ovulate. It won't make you sterile. There is a slightly higher rate of blood clots for women over the age of 35, but that can mostly be alleviated by not smoking and keeping yourself in good health. If you have any specific concerns, you should direct them to the Doctor Who has been prescribing your birth control.
At least a month, it takes a month for the pill to start working. After the month is up you need to continue taking the pill EVERDAY if you miss a day skip intercourse for that day.

Birth control is meant to prevent pregnancy. If you want to get pregnant, stop taking birth control. When you stop, you can try to conceive immediately. There is no medical need to wait.
You will be protected after 10 days (Although read the information that came with your pill, or ask your doctor) you should ALWAYS use protection though!
You should be on birth control until you want to conceive or until you reach menopause.
You can be on birth control until you want to get pregnant, reach menopause, or have a medical condition that requires a change of method. There is no time limit for staying on birth control.
Birth control is for avoiding pregnancy. It won't help you get pregnant.
unprotected sex is never safe no matter what time of birth control as pregnancy is always a possibility as is sexually transmitted diseases
While having unprotected Sex , none the methods of Birth Control can be considered as 100% safe. But there are medicines in the market which can be given with in 48-72 Hrs after unprotected sex , and it MAY prevent the pregnancy. Follow:"Prevention is Better than Cure". Use CONDOM !
Its a possibility... are you but not likely, was it a full ejaculation while he was in you.. or was he trying to pull out?
Yes, you should always continue to take your birth control unless your physician tells you to stop. Stopping your birth control and having unprotected sex will make you become pregnant. If you are experiencing any bleeding before the expected date or time of your period, you are most likely experiencing spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is bleeding that is not considered a period, it is however a side effect from birth control that can last up to 3 months when you first begin birth control.
Well yeah. If you are on birth control, when you have your "period" or bleeding, you continue with the sugar pills until it is time for a new pack. But if you have not started using birth control yet you wait until the Sunday after your period and then take your first pill, this is called "the Sunday start"
Can birth control be ineffective while taking metronidazole?
Not very high. I have missed 2 birth control pills before and I had unprotected sex with my husband and I did not get pregnant. I have heard that the birth control pill will still be in your blood stream for a while even if you miss one or two pills, but I am not for sure how true that is.
Yes, you can. While birth control is reliable, there is no birth control that is 100% effective.
No. That won't decrease the effects of the antibiotic on the birth control's efficiency. The only safe way is to use alternative forms of birth control while taking the antibiotic and for at least two weeks after finishing the antibiotics. Don't have unprotected sex during that time because you are at an increased risk of pregnancy. What time you take the pills won't help that - sorry :)
Yes, Oxytetracycline will effect how birth control pills work and may put you at risk of pregnancy. I am not certain if it will have a similar effect on the morning after pill. Refrain from having unprotected intercourse while on your antibiotics and use protection for 2 weeks after you have finished your antibiotics and if you are on birth control, this should prevent pregnancy from occurring. If you do have unprotected intercourse, perform a pregnancy test 2-3 weeks later.
Changing birth control pills doesn't increase your risk of pregnancy if you started the new pack on time. It is possible to get pregnant even while using the birth control pill correctly, however, so take a pregnancy test if you're having symptoms of pregnancy.
Yes, no Birth Control is 100% affective.
