Summary of the idea/dream: Here I have the answers and tips to the most frequently asked question on birth control pill and everything relating its use...
- How do I use the pill?
You take a pill containing hormones every day for 21 days, followed by seven days of sugar pill, which keeps you in the habit of taking them and also ensures your withdrawal period. If you don't take it at the same time every day, its effectiveness will be lowered and you may have irregular periods. To avoid missing taking the pill in the morning rush, take it at the same time every evening.
- What if I miss taking a pill?
Missing one pill during a cycle is not a big deal; you'll still be protected as long as you double up the next day. But missing two or more can make you vulnerable to pregnancy. If this happens, abstain from sex (or use condoms) until your next pill cycle begins.
- What if I can't remember to take the pill every day?
If you can't remember to take a pill, the patch is a great alternative. Instead of taking a pill daily, you put a patch, which resembles a band-aid, on your body once a week for three
