What happens when taking birth control backwards on one of the weeks in between?

If your pills are all the same dose of hormones for each day, then nothing.

If you have a type of pill where different weeks have different doses of hormones, then you will need to use another form of birth control (while continuing to take your birth control pills in the right order) for this month, as there is a chance that you may ovulate that month.

You do not want to take your placebo pills (the pills you take for 1 week when you are supposed to have your period) during the middle of your birth control pill cycle, as those pills offer no birth control protection. If that was the case, then you may get a surprise period in the middle of your cycle, and you will need to use another form of birth control in order to prevent pregnancy.

How is the sponge contraceptive used?

If the brand is "Today" the sponge needs to run under water until thoroughly wet before inserted. Other brands are Protectaid and Pharmatex and come ready to use.

The sponge can be inserted up to 24 hours before intercourse, over the cervix (beginning of the uterus). It must be left in place for at least six hours after the last time you have intercourse. It should not be worn for more than 30 hours in a row.

Note that contraceptive sponges do not protect against STD's and are only 75 to 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. It is wise to use the sponge accompanied by a condom or the pill.

How is birth control bad?

From a health perspective, it alters your hormones. If your body does not adapt well to birth control, it can make you nauseous and you will almost experience pregnancy-like symptoms. It can also cause you to spot, if you miss any number of pills.

What can happen if you stop taking contraceptive pills during a week?

It depends on the pill; read the label's instructions on what to do for missed pills.

If you just missed a couple of days, you may be able to catch up again. If you missed an entire week, you might need to use other forms of contraception and start fresh with a new pack next month.

(Save that half-pack, though, for those emergencies when you accidentally run out and need pills to tide you over until you can get to the pharmacy.)

You took your birth control at the wrong time?

Brief Description:

I had unprotected sex around 11 pm and i normally take my meds at 8 pm every night. I woke up at 9 in the morning the next day and thought i forgot to take my medicine the night before so i jumped up and took my medicine without realizing i already took it on time that night and now i had just taken the one for today 11 hours too early. will my body still have that birth control in me to protect me from the sex from that night? if that makes sense?

Can you get pregnant if your boyfriend ejaculated and sperm fell on your stomach and there was no intercourse?

Sperm ejaculated on your abdomen/stomach will not result in pregnancy - if sperm is ejaculated on the woman's outer vaginal tissue it may be possible, but not likely. The sperm don't live long outside of the body (male or female) and would have to find the entrance to the vagina, then swim the entire reproductive tract.

Sperm ejaculated in the vagina are already sent in the right direction at the cervix.

Semen on the outer tissue could cause a STD if there is any small cut or abrasion. Practice Safe Sex!
