im a guy, but you need to take those at the same time EVERY DAY. its a very important thing to do
-------------------- PEACE zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

I'm a guy. Don't take any antibiotics while you're on the pill and think you won't get pregnant. (Sorry, I don't know an answer to your question)

Very, very, very important to take at the same time every single day. If you miss it by even ONE hour, you need to use an alternate form of birth control for at least one week, while you continue to take your pill at THE SAME TIME EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Especially if you have switched to a lower hormone. I use a daily alarm on my cell phone to remind me because I am terrible about that.
If you can't handle taking it at the EXACT same time every single day, you could consider using something different, like a sponge, the IUD thing they put inside you, the shot...
Doesn't hurt to double up the pill with a condom, too. Getting knocked up when you're not ready for it, or in a bad situation is bad news.... and you'll have some very heavy decisions to make. Good luck, honey.
I've had some experiences, if you have anymore questions you cam PM me or email me at kelliebom@hotmail.com.
Birth control is very serious business for young women.

I can't remember to take a pill at the same time everyday either, so I went on the evra patch. maybe that is something for you to look into? the patch was nice compared to some brands of birth control pills... I had minimal side effects when compared to alesse and ortho try cyclen.

You can still get sponges in Canada. I don't know about the US. I have a package I picked up out of curiousity, but I never used them, so I don't actually know how they work. They sure look weird, tho.
Alesse went off the market, for sure. Women were getting knocked up left and right and having all kinds of break through bleeding and 'non-periods'.
I heard the patch is a good one. I never tried it either, but I know lots of women who swear by it.

OMG. That's so strange. I was on alesse for like 2 years and all of a sudden I was on permanent period for like 4 weeks. I went to the gyno and he was like "HEY. STOP TAKING ALESSE. IT'S BAD NEWS" and my girlfriend was using alesse and was a complete spaz about taking at the SAME TIME every single day, she was a saint about it, I swear...and she got knocked up.
What are you taking now? PS.... check your pms.

Lots of women take birth control pills for reasons other then actual birth control. Acne is one, a more regular cycle is another, they also help control cramping, bad PMS and endometreosis on top of stopping you from getting el preggo.
Geez, I should get a job in a womens clinic. This is fun. I never get to talk about womens health at the sausage fest shroomery.

It is pretty important to take the pills regularly. My ex and I still used a condom even when she was on BC because we were at a point where neither of us could deal with her being pregnant. Whatever you do be safe and have fun.

If you're not taking your birth control daily at the same time everyday you might as well not even bother. There is a name for people who don't take their birth conrol regularly, they are called parents
