Accepted Answer

Usually that: Should not happen, but if you miss a pill , or did not absorb the pill properly, which could happen if you were taking an antibiotic for an infection or if you vomited a pill, u could break thru ovulate and get pregnant, no birth control is 100% that is a very good pill and the #1 pill i prescribe esp for my pts in late 30s and 40s as it has the least hormones which is safer.

Accepted Answer

Please ask your gyn: Assuming i know nothing else is causing it in my pateints I have had them do that sometimes, for a certain period of time and usually it works, but u need to ask the doc who put u on that pill as that doc may want to do blood work and an ultrasound to make sure nothing else is going on.

Yes, from pregnancy: If you are taking the birth control pills for 2 weeks then you should be protected from pregnancy. However, transmission of any STDs are not decreased since the condom broke.
