:o Don't Always Believe the Pill Will Protect You!! Posted: 10-04-05 20:59pm
Hi everyone~~ well here is my story for
you~ i'm 16 and i've been on birth
control for over a year now and the past 3
months I haven't been using a condom.
Well thats because I found out the i'm
allergic to condoms, so my doctor told me
not to use condoms anymore and that I
wouldn't get pregnant because i've been on
the pill for over a year. Well my
doctor lied to me! Now i'm over a month
pregnant. So dont always believe what
your doctor tells you about the pill!
C'ya
rj
p.S.
I've never missed a pill but I have had
problems with my female parts! I dont
take any meds or do drugs or alcohol, so
I dont know! My doc knows me and she told
me I wouldnt, but I did!

period was so when they did my ultrasound

thats where he came up with my due
date..Is that correct? How far along are

Happened to Me Posted: 10-04-05 22:48pm
I was on the pill from the time I was 17,
I always stayed on it, even though I was
single for 3 years, and I never changed
branfds, even when I lived overseas for a
year.
I would very often skip the inactive sugar
pills and continue straight on to the next
cycle without having a period, (i hated
having a period)
every so often, i'd do the right thing,
and let myself have one.
When I was 23, my boyfriend and I got
serious, and moved in together- he
convinced me to have the inactive pills
break, and have a period every month like
I was supposed to, I agreed I was probably
damaging my health or fertility, or both.
So I gave it a try.
First month I took the inactive pills like
you are suposed to. No period.
2nd moth, I faithfully went on to the
inactives again -no period.
I was convinced I had rendered myself
infertile from years of staying on the
pill, or had messed my hormones around so
much that maybe I had developed caner, or
early menopause or something. I never
missed a single pill ever, and I had not
been on any meds at any time.
I went to the doctor. I was pregnant. I
had an ultrasound, I was 8 weeks and a few
days along.
My baby is now 2 and a half, i'm married
to her father and i'm 35 weeks pregnant
with her sister, (on purpose this time!!)
so I guess it happened for the best, but
at the time, it was the most impossible
thing to believe- I was too shocked to
even be glad that I wasn't dying of
anything.
It can happen. I'd say most of the time
pill failure is due to interferance from
other med, or failure to absorb it because
of an upset stomach, or forgetting to take
it, but not for me, I was really one of
those freak 1% failures.
I like to think of it as more of a miracle
though- I wouldn't want to be without my
little family for anything.
