What should you do if the condom broke and you are on birth control and z-pack?

I would go to your doctor or a health clinic (such as Planned Parenthood) to get the morning after pill. Sometimes you can just take a certain amount of your birth control and that will be equal to what Plan B is, but I would recommend still talking to your doctor because it is different for every type of the pill. If you are over 18 you can also get the morning after pill (Plan B) over the counter at any pharmacy. It is only effective if taken within 72 hours after the incident. I would definitely look into this because your birth control is ineffective if you are taking an antibiotic such as the Z-pack. Hope this helps!

What is the only contraceptive method that is 100 safe against pregnancy and transfer of STD's?

The only one hundred percent effective method is is abstinance. That may sound like a fllip answer but it is true.

Answeri don't think there are any 100 percent effective contraceptives you should Google the word contarceptive and see what the options are.

in my opinion and experience the best method is to use condoms and the contaceptive pill though both have their faults
Abstinence.
Abstaining from oral, anal, and vaginal sex as well as from genital-genital contact is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy and STDs. To prevent pregnancy, it's enough to abstain from vaginal sex.

Do you have to start taking your birth control the first day of your period every month so you don't have to use another form of protection or is that just when you start your very first pack of pills?

You only start taking the pills on the first day of your period when you are starting out. From then on you just take one pill per day and your period will come when it needs to. I always started my first "sugar pill" on Thursday morning and didn't see my period until Saturday some time. As long as you are taking one pill per day you will not need to take addition protection. Extra protection is only needed if you miss a pill.

Why if you want to delay your period do you have to run two packets of monophasic pills together. Why not just take an extra week of active pills?

No reason; you can take two packs back to back, or you could just extend your active pill-taking by one week. Either way is fine, poses no special dangers, and does not increase your risk of pregnancy. Just remember that you must not go more than seven days without an active pill, and that you may have unscheduled bleeding or spotting as a result.

I have been off the birth control pill for 7 months and my breasts are getting larger. Are they going back to their normal size without estrogen and progesteron?

It's not likely to be related to stopping the pill. Either your growth wasn't complete, or you're gaining weight in you breasts. Lack of estrogen and progesterone doesn't grow breasts.

When will you start your period if you are on birth control and you are on the final week for that packet of pills which is the week you take placebo pills?

It really depends on the person and how long you've been taking the pills for. Some people will start their period the day or the day after they start taking the placebo pills. Some will start within 3 or 4 days, and some will start the day before they are to resume the regular pills. If you just started taking the pills, your period may be very irregular for the first couple months (usually regulated by month 3). Just continue to take the pills on a normal basis and you should be regulated soon.
