Can i take Pills only at the day of sexualintercorse?
No - the 'pill' doesn't work like an aspirin or vitamin. Only through continued use (days or months) will it have any effect. Please follow all written instructions given with this medication.
When you start birth control can you bleed '?
Yes. When you first begin birth control you may experience a side effect called "Spotting/Breakthrough bleeding". This means that it is not your actual period. This side effect can last up to 3 months,however, if it still occurs after 3 months you should talk to your physician. Persistent occurrence of this side effect may mean that you need to change your dosage/strength of your birth control. Bleeding still occurs during birth control. Birth control does not stop bleeding, but it can regulate your cycle and even give you lighter and shorter periods. You will get your period during the placebo pills week. Also, I would like to add, that when you first begin birth control, I can not stress enough, but you must take your pills every day at the same time. It would also be safe to not have unprotected sex for at least 1-2 months, because you would like to be sure that your body has adapted to the hormones from the pills, and to ensure that you do not accidentally become pregnant.
your pill probably isn't strong enough
Is there a bee repellent for the body to lessen the chance of being stung?
I get the feeling many people get hornets and wasps mixed up with honey bees. Bees are fat with yellow/black stripes and fly low. I have them in my garden and they seldom harm a person unless you accidently sit on one or put pressure them. If you are allergic to bees then you carry a special kit with you at all times. Hornets and wasps (elongated and thin in body, can be yellow/black or other colors) are the nasty ones that can leave a very nasty sting.
I am assuming that when you say "without having sex" you meant without a penis entering a vagina. In that case it is nearly impossible to get pregnant. Tell your doctor if it has been a few months
If you remove your patch frequently to adjust your period can that cause serious side effects?
No, the only serious side effect would be reducing the effectiveness of your birth control.
Is it possible to get pregnant while using pills and withdrawing?
It is completely possible too get pregnant while taking the pill and withdrawing because all it takes is one tiny little sperm tadpole to get through and you will find yourself pregnant. If you are trying to avoid getting pregnant the I suggest that you use as many birth control methods as possible. Keep taking the pill and withdrawing but I also recommend using a condom as well. just in case.
Who is the manufacturer of Trojan condoms?
Trojan makes Trojan condoms. They are great for preventing pregnancies. For full effectiveness use a pregnancy pill along with the condoms, though this isn't 100% safe.
What does it mean if you don't bleed on your period day while on birth control?
Hormonal birth control can make the period so light that it seems to disappear altogether. If you have taken your birth control correctly in the previous month, there's no need for concern. If you've made any errors, take a pregnancy test to make sure that's not the cause of your missing period.
Why use a back up method on birth control patch?
Using a backup method on the birth control patch provides additional protection from pregnancy. Since the patch does not work perfectly, a second method can be helpful. In addition, the patch doesn't prevent infection, so backing up your patch with condoms provides the additional benefit of STD protection.
yes, you can get pregnant any time there isn't any 100% way not unless you get your tubes tied or have a hysterectomy. also, condoms are more likely to tear if you use more than one at a time...
Is the new Lybrel birth control safe?
FDA approved the first continuous-use drug product for the prevention of pregnancy, on May 22, 2007. The new contraceptive, Lybrel, is manufactured by Wyeth of Philadelphia, Pa.
Lybrel comes in a 28 day-pill pack with low-dose combination tablets that contain 90 micrograms of a progestin, levonorgestrel, and 20 micrograms of an estrogen, ethinyl estradiol. These are active ingredients available in other approved oral contraceptives.
Continuous contraception works the same way as the 21-days-on/seven-days-off cycle. It stops the body's monthly preparation for pregnancy by lowering the production of hormones that make pregnancy possible. Other contraceptive pill regimens have placebo or pill-free intervals lasting 4 to 7 days that stimulate a menstrual cycle. Lybrel is designed to be taken without the placebo or pill-free time interval. Women who use Lybrel would not have a scheduled menstrual period, but will most likely have unplanned, breakthrough, unscheduled bleeding or spotting.
When considering the use of Lybrel, health professionals and patients should weigh the convenience of having no scheduled menstruation against the inconvenience of unscheduled bleeding or spotting. Unscheduled bleeding decreases over time in most women who continue to take Lybrel for a full year.
Like other available oral contraceptives, Lybrel is effective for pregnancy prevention when used as directed. The safety and effectiveness of Lybrel were supported by 2 one-year clinical studies, enrolling more than 2,400 women, ages 18 to 49. The risks of using Lybrel are similar to the risks of other conventional oral contraceptives.
- There is an increased risk of blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.
- Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects from the use of combination estrogen and progestin-containing contraceptives.
- Because people who use Lybrel won't have regular periods, it may be difficult for women to recognize if they have become pregnant. Women should take a pregnancy test if they believe they may be pregnant.
- Birth control pills do not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) or other sexually transmitted diseases.
It depends, if your ten years old it's just that your body's preparing for becoming a adult. (I'm ten btw) If your a teen then I dunno. Ask your mother and try to relax :)
A woman's period is what happens when a females uterus has one or occasionally two eggs that is not fertilized by a male in a certain amount of time. The egg must come out, so the egg comes out with a bit of blood. How you get it fertilized by a male is through sex.
How can you make the birth control patch fail?
The patch can fail if not put on right. If It's not staying on the right way, saying it got wet and is falling off, put on a new one soon as you can. Remebering when you need to change the patch will help form the patch failling.
AnswerDifferent medicines and some teas I have heard can affect the effectivmess of the patch. Calling your local pharmacist or the hospital or even a doctor and they could give you the list of the things that can affect the patchThe ortho evra patch is very effective in order for it to fail you would have to not use it properly and if you take antibiotics it increases your changes of getting pregnant.

I have heard others complain that they rip easily because there isn't enough lube on them but we always use our own lube (astroglide) as part of foreplay fun so we've never had that problem.
If I take my non birth control a week early will my birth contorl not work?
Because you took your non active pills instead of the active pills this has basically interfered with birth control protecting you against pregnancy and has also messed up your cycle. You must ALWAYS take birth control as prescribed. You need to use a condom for the next 4 weeks to prevent pregnancy and take your birth control as normal.

What does it mean when your are on Depo-Provera but still see blood when you wipe yourself?
It means your spotting...some woman tend to have spotting when first taking the shot. Some women periods stop completly after spotting and in some cases a period as at least one a year on the shot.
Not very high. I have missed 2 birth control pills before and I had unprotected sex with my husband and I did not get pregnant. I have heard that the birth control pill will still be in your blood stream for a while even if you miss one or two pills, but I am not for sure how true that is.
