- 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.
What happens if a girl forgets to take the birth control pill therefore has a early period?
This bleeding is called breakthrough bleeding, it is not a period - don't worry, just continue on with your pills as soon as you remember - if you are early in the cycle. if you are nearing the last week, you can toss the old pack and start your next packet.
Be sure to use condoms as back-up until you have taken 7 active pills, over 7 days again.

There is no danger in skipping periods by skipping the placebo pills in your birth control pack, but this may result in bleeding between periods. When you get to the end of this pack, think about taking a break by taking your placebo pills - but don't take a break for longer than seven days. Then start the new pack. Some women note that if they take a short break of 4-5 days when spotting starts, then restart the pill, the spotting is more controllable.

What if you can only feel one string from the IUD?
As long as you can feel at least one string, there is no cause for concern, and no need for an exam with your health care provider. The purpose of checking the strings is to make sure the IUD is present an in place. The apparent disappearance of one string is not an indication of a missing or displaced IUD if the other one is present. The most likely reason for feeling only one string is that the other is so close it can't be perceived as separate.

Stress or illness can still wreak havock on your period even when you're on the pill. It may mean nothing. If you have taken any recent medications, especially anti-biotics, some of them cancel out the effects of the pill. A doctor or pharmacist can tell you if the medication can render the pill ineffective. Of course there is always a small chance of pregnancy, even with the pill. If it was a normal period, just early, there is probably nothing to worry about at all. If you have any other symptoms or concerns, talk to your doctor.
