If you stop taking the pill after 3 days of being on it can you still get pregnant that month?
Yes birth control pills aren't effective until you complete one full month of taking them.
Is it a good idea to use antibacterial soap?
No. Antibacterial soap is not any more effective at ridding your hands and other surfaces of bacteria as "normal" soap. It will, however, help to create "super bacteria" that are resistant to antibiotics.
Added: Also, by using antibacterial soap you kill the good bacteria on your skin that help to keep you from infection. Without these bacteria you are liable to get a fungal infection like ringworm. It is good to have a moderate level of bacteria in your environment. They give your immune system something to practice on so it will be ready when something harmful checks in.
Can drugs like drinking or smoking kill a fertilized egg?
No, but they will cause severe birth defects.
After you give birth, either via cesarean birth or a vaginal birth, you will bleed from your vagina. The cause of this bleeding is the healing of the uterus, specifically where the placenta was attached to the uterine wall. As the uterus slowly shrinks back down to nearly it's prepregnancy size in a process called involution, the body expels blood form the wound inside.

Did Margaret Sanger create a new type of birth control?
No, Margaret Sanger did not invent any type of birth control. She learned about the diaphragm, invented in the 1800s and available in Europe, and she was instrumental in importing it to the US as a contraceptive option.
Although Sanger did not personally create the birth control pill, she is known as the Mother of the Birth Control pill because she had throughout her career fought for education of women and their rights. She brought together a philanthropist, Katherine Dexter McCormick and biologist Gregory Pincus to develop the "birth control pill" released on the market as "Enovid" in 1960.

Is the spermicidal lubricant on condoms in the condom or on the outside?
Spermicide in. You want the spermicide closest to the sperm...closest to the penis. Although many condoms will have spermicide inside and out.
well assuming her partner can use condoms then its the same as condoms, if not the same as anyone else if she is in good health
Can you get pregnant in a spa from pre-ejaculatory fluid?
The suggestion that seminal fluid might travel through the water is practically impossible, even more so at elevated temperatures (which would rapidly deteriorate any sperm). Preejaculatory fluid will usually only contain minute amounts of sperm.
However, anytime an uncovered penis is in proximity to the vagina of a female (especially an uncovered one), there is the potential for sperm to reach the vaginal lining. Underwater sex is no safer than anywhere else. But any significant chance would require direct contact between the male and female genitals, because of the deteriorating affect of heated water.
How old do you have to be to purchase a condom?
The legal age is 18,but if your 16 i would watch it lol
I would not worry about it. Theoretically you can pregnant depending on the week you forget to take bc. But I know stories of people that stop taking birth control and don't ovulate for months! Think about all the pills they forgot.
Well, your gynecologist should have told you, or you should have read the instruction packet of your birth control pills, and it will tell you that if you miss 3 pills consecutively in one month, to throw that packet away and start a new and use a back up form of contraception for one month. Any time you are taking anti-biotics you should use a back up form of contraception because it keeps your birth control pills from working properly. So it is quite possible that you could be pregnant.
i think it depends on when you first started it. i have heard that if you start it on the first day of your period then you are automatically covered and that any other time during your period you are not covered for 7 days. but i have also heard that if you start at anytime during your period your automatically covered so im not sure but you should still use a condom for the first 7 days to make sure
How soon do you ovulate after pregnancy?
You do not ovulate after pregnancy. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the body naturally stops ovulating and begins the process for creating the pathway for the baby to be born. If women could ovulate during pregnancy, that would mean pregnant women still participating in sex, which some do, could get pregnant, and have a full grown and half grown fetus at the same time. Imagine how complicated birth would be!
Could my birth control pills or Estroven be causing my sudden body odor problem?
no just take a shower :/
If you have never taken birth control. Does birth control slow down your period?
The birth control pill will (or at least should) make your periods more regular and less intensive. The bloodloss will be far less (for most women)
Why does birth control pills make you fat?
They don't always make you fat; some women lose weight when taking them. They affect your hormones so naturally they affect your weight, but not every woman reacts the same way.
Can you take a fertility test if you are taking the contraceptive pill?
The answer depends on the type of test. If you're checking for ovulation with a home test, it won't work when you're on the birth control pill. If your OBGYN or reproductive endocrinologist is doing fertility-related bloodwork or cervical evaluation, they'll let you know how long you should be off medication before testing. If you're looking at an HSG test, the birth control pill probably won't affect the results, but ask the person ordering the test.
Should I stop birth control if my tests came back negative but I still feel pregnant?
Should I stop birth control if my tests came back negative, but I still feel pregnant, but haven't missed a period yet?
