Quick question
is it safe to have sex while taking the
placebo pills?
I know how birth control pills work, it
just confuses me. If they stop ovulation
then shouldn't it be safe anytime, and
what makes the period finally come?

Yes its safe. Youre safe all month long.
What makes your period come is the
withdrawl of hormones from your body.

If theres no ovulation, is the egg still
released or do they just build up?

The egg is not released. Here's why.
Every baby girl is born with thousands of
inmature eggs already in her ovaries. In
fact - she is born with every egg she will
ever produce (odd isn't it- thinking
you're walking around with your future
children's dna already in you!). Around
puberty your body starts releasing
hormones telling the inmature eggs to
mature. Once a month one (or
occasionally more) egg will reach maturity
and be released. This is ovulation.
When you are on the pill, the hormones you
ingest prevent your body from telling the
egg to mature, hence it is never released.
The eggs stay in your body untill you
stop bcp and allow your body to chart it's
own course.

Eggs don't build up. When you are
approximately 12 weeks old in the womb you
already have all the eggs you will ever
make.
