Unplanned Pregnancy While On B/c? Posted: 10-20-05 19:54pm
I see many young women here whose
pregnancies are unplanned... And I was
wondering... Were you using birth control
like the pill and/or condoms? Or was it a
spur-of-the-moment type thing where no
protection was used?
I am 17 and a virgin but am on birth
control for my ovarian cysts. I plan to
also use condoms when I become sexually
active (not like I will be anytime soon)
to lower my risks of pregnancy. I would
like to know if any of you used a form of
birth control and it failed... You know,
for future reference.
I would appreciate any replies. Thank
you!

Hey elaine
I got pregnant 2/4 times off birth
control. Info on b/c if you are taking
any other medication with it it can or
will lower the effect b/c making the
possibility of pregnancy easier (so
instead of 99.9 protection think of
dropping 10/20 %.) just wanted to let you
know fyi..................Regualr vitamins
or maternity vitamins dont affect it
depedning on what company manufactures
them.

When I first got preggy at 14 I was on
aleese (the pill) and I got preggy.. But
it was my fault cuz I didnt take them
properly at all.
Whne I was 17 I got preggy on marvelon 28
(another pill) but I took them like I was
sposed too. According to the doc, when I
got my tongue pierced was when I conceived
and I was taking prescription mds cuz it
hit my vein. So that pretty much
cancelled out my pill and made it like I
wasnt takingg any birth control. Just be
careful of meds and that if u take the
pill but other than that, its pretty good
birth control!

I got pregnant while on the pill and I
took it as prescribed (every day at about
the same time of the day). My doctor
told me that the stress of planning my
wedding could have affected my body so
much that my hormone levels were off and I
ovulated and became pregnant.
If you aren't taking any antibiotics and
are not under an inordinate amount of
stress (planning my wedding was very, very
stressful), the pill should cover you just
fine. If you feel like using condoms as
well, there is nothing wrong with using
two methods (i use two methods now
everytime as well).
