Birth Control.. And.. Dun Dun Dunnnn. Your Period Posted: 02-14-05 19:15pm
Hello ladies, and i'm sure, gentlemen.
Little question here.
I always seem to have questions about
conception, good lord.
Anyway, planning on having a little
"visit" with a "friend" on march break.
Just so happens im going to be on my
period that week.
I've been on birth control for over a
year, never missed a pill, blah blah
blah.
Does that entail that if I have sex while
on my period, not only are my chances of
pregnancy generally low, but also even
lower because I won't be ovulating until
another 21 days has gone by due to my
pill?
I'll probably still use a condom, but I
just thought it'd be nice to know, incase
a spur of the moment event happens.

You're covered during your period too, but
I heard that you can go straight to the
new pack and skip your period. Idk,
maybe call your doc and ask about that.
Sex isn't really that great on your
period.

Even though I never liked the idea of sex
during my period it sounds like you'll be
ok as long as you stick to the
instructions for whatever pill you're
taking. And be careful about those "spur
of the moment" things cuz my bf and I
always used condoms except for like 2-3
times, and now i'm 25 weeks pregnant from
one of those "sperm of the moment" things.
:lol:

I used to model when I was younger and I
played a lot of water sports. My doc
told me it was okay to continue with my
pills (the non-sugar ones) if I wanted to
skip a period. It's ok to do it one in a
while not all the time though. Maybe
think of doing that for spring break.
