Here I Go Again...
Posted: 09-04-06 23:43pm

I take my pills correctly, on time... No interferences.... Blah blah blah.....
This morning I started day 1 of my sugar pills.. I know i'm still protected.. But am I as protected as I was during the birth control pill weeks? Or is it less? Also, I had a realy upset stomache this morning... Linked with very little and mild dihareah (sp) sorry... Lol anywho.. I know that can lower the efectiveness.... So i'm kind of worried...

I was with my boyfriend today and yada yada yada....
Should I be okay? Or worried?

you are fine. If you are ever concerned about the possibility of birth control failure, use a back up method. Pregnancy does not occur during the sugar pill week or there would be a very lot of birth control babies out there!!

Thanksss for the re-assurance...

We do use back up methods... We always use condoms, but there are times before we have sex, where he comes in contact with me with no condom on, and it just worries me... Usually i'm not worried as much anymore, cause i'm learning to trust the pill more... But its the odd time (like my stomach being upset) where I start to panic again...

But thank you again

Din't worry about having an upset stomach and diarreah during the sugar pill week, especially since you don't technically have to take those pills; they are just reminders to keep you in the habit of taking pills. I personally don't take them. They have no horomones in them at all, just sugar, thus why they're called sugar and/or placebo pills.
