pill planning
Posted: 06-10-08 18:26pm

Birth control is only effective if taken as perscribed.
And only to 99%
So If I took it today at 6:00
And tomorrow at 11:00
How effective is that and what will happen.

Or if I too it at 6 am
and then tomorrow at 2pm
and the next day at 7 am
and the next day at 10 am
and the next day at 1 pm

how effective is that?
and what will happen?

you should take your pill at the same time everyday for it to be MOST effective...otherwise the likelyhood of pregnancy is increased...personally, its easier to remember if you take it at the exact same time anyway

94 to 97

that seems like you would hardly get pregnant.

how do people end up pregnant on the pill by accident.

it makes no sence to me...


you would have to really really not take it at the right time or forget to take it all together in order to have a higher pregnacy rate.

if someone forget there first pill.
and then took her second of the pack at 10 am
and then 1 pm the next day
and then 7am the next day
and then 11am the next day...

ect.

would there percentage still be in the nintys...


because it seems very unlikely to me for anyone to actually get pregnant on the pill unless the have a super high or what am i trying to say???

um you know like strong egg or higher then usually pregnancy chance...

not really sure where im going with this... but do i make sence?

Did this happen to you or are you just asking hypothetically?

if someone missed the first pill in their pack, they should hav e taken it as soon as they rememebered it and not just skipped it and started in the second day. The times are not even close to each other for the tome each day they took it, that will lower the effectiveness

I am a womans health professional...

94% IS very good..BUT... Think about it...

That means that 6 out of 100 women WILL DEFINITELY GET PREGNANT PREGNANT.

That is what 94% MEANS...

THIS IS HOW PEOPLE GET PREGNANT..... IF you miss a pill, the hormonal drop can allow an egg to be ovulated.

When the egg meets the sperm you can get pregnant!!

This is NOT rocket science...

NO! When you miss your pill you CAN BLEED! THIS BLEEDING IS NOT A PERIOD.

NOT ALL bleeding is called a "PERIOD". When you are on the pill, you ONLY HAVE YOUR PERIOD ON THE PERIOD WEEK!!!!

ANY OTHER BLEEDING IS CALLED "Breakthrough bleeding".


That bleeding is simply bleeding from missing a pill!!

A WOMAN CAN GET PREGNANT FROM SEX ON HER PERIOD. Some women have different cycles than others, and they ovulate very soon.

IT is great that you are trying to educate yourself about birth control!!

You obviously do not know much, so you need to learn.


The reason why you bleed when you miss a pill is because the hormones are disrupted. EVEN if you are bleeding you could get pregnant from a missed pill. Bleeding in NO WAY means that you cannot get pregnant!

DID YOU KNOW That women get pregnant even if they have a Tubal Ligation?!

NOTHING is 100%

How old are you?

Tubal Ligation is SURGICAL BIRTH CONTROL, permanent.

Some women cannot use hormones.

Birth control pills are NOT SAFE for all women, and some women cannot use them.

Do you understand?

Tubal Ligation = Tubes Tied. Basically it keeps the egg from reaching the uterus and the sperm from reaching the egg.

The only thing that is 100% is abstinence (no sex).

Even if a type of BC is 99.9% effective, that means 1out of 1000 woman WILL get pregnant.

No it does not SOUND like many people

BUT THINK ABOUT THIS... HOW many thousand are in A MILLION??

IF 4 million women have their tubes tied, then THOUSANDS of those women will still become pregnant...
