has anyone gotten pregnant while on birth control? - Page 2

hm i just wonder how important it is to take it at the same time everyday. the pamphlets never really get into that besides that it's bad if you miss a day, but i usually take it from varying times between 8pm and midnight when i remember. wonder what that does on my chances. probably not much, but still.

also it's weird, it's like every single day i'm on the verge of forgetting but i don't. maybe i should look into that new patch thing.

I got pregnant on the pill once. Unfortunately, the fetus just kept pulsating, so they put it in a baby food jar where it grew and gave birth to other aborted fetuses.

You really should take it at the same time every day, like within half an hour. I have the feeling no one knows exactly what it does to your chances, but it can't hurt to be precise, plus it's been found that certain side-effects like mid-cycle bleeding and whatnot can be caused by taking it irregularly, since it's hard for your body to get used to it that way. I keep the alarm on my watch set to go off at the same time every day, so I don't have to worry about it, but I think regularity has got to help.

shit now i'm all paranoid, im on depo shot and i don't get my period on it, thats a common side effect but now i'm all worried i'm gonna get knocked up and not know cause i have nothing to warn me and then i wont know till i'm like showing or someshit and by then it's too late to get an abortion, and i would have gotten my shots and stuff so i'd be forced to give birth to a baby that probably will have birth defects... man thats fucked up...

as long as you take it WITHIN 5 hours of your normal pill taking time, you'll be fine (according to Dr, Sue Johannson-The Sunday Night Sex Show)

don't make a habit of it though because like Lie said, it's very important to take it at the same time everyday.
