Does terbinafine affect the birth control pill?

Can 10 birth control pills at once delay your cycle?
Taking ten birth control pills at once is just goofy. It is not a normal approach to delay your cycle, and is likely to cause nausea, irregular bleeding, and other signs of hormonal imbalance. Talk to the person who prescribed your pills about more effective and safe approaches for delaying your period.
Are natural lamb skin condoms just as effective as latex condoms?
Kinda-sorta.
They're supposed to be good enough at preventing pregnancy, but they don't protect against STDs as well.
Can you skip a period while taking birth control?
Yes you can, with no increased risk of pregnancy or other complications, except for possible unscheduled bleeding or spotting. Skipping your period by starting the next pack early does not increase the risk of pregnancy, and may even decrease the risk. Just skip the sugar/placebo pills the last week and start a new pack of active pills and you won't get your period.
The "special" birth control pills for skipping periods are not special at all. They are just typical birth control pills that have been on the market for years, but were repackaged in a three-month package with eleven weeks of active pills and one week, of placebo pills instead of the typical three-and-one pattern. You can do this with any type of pill, although it's most effective with monophasic pills instead of those with three different hormone doses.
Do stool softeners make the birth control pills or shot less effective?

How can a female take control in the bedroom?
If you mean in sex, try the cowgirl position, where the man lies on his back and sticks his penis straight up, the woman then sit on his pubic area and bounce up and down to her pleasure. You can put the penis either in your vagina or have anal sex.
Can your period be late when taking birth control?
Yes. I know a few women who have gone a month without getting a period. My sister was on the Depo shot and she went almost 3 months without getting a period! I thought she was pregnant so I made her take a few tests and they were all negative. She got her period a week or so later. You can even avoid getting a period if you are on the pill by skipping the last 7 pills in the pack and starting a brand new pack right away!
Do you take your birth control the day your period starts?
It's convenient to start the birth control pill, patch, ring, injection, IUD, or implant on the day your period starts, as you then have immediate protection; however, it's not strictly necessary. If you're talking about taking birth control after you've been on it a while, you should take your birth control as scheduled regardless of vaginal bleeding.
