[Birth Control] 3 Important Questions!!!!!!From: anonymous@obgyn.netWed, 13 Feb 2002 09:24:06 -0600 (CST)
1) I am on Ortho-Cyclin. I took a pill at 10 on Fri. night and vomited @1:30 AM that morning. Did my body absorb that dose or should I have doubled up my doses on Sat.? Soo...I did double up, taking one at my regular time @7:30 pm and then I realized that I may not have absorbed the previous day's dose so I took another @1 AM. Does this mean I am fine now or do I need to use a backup method? And if I do, until when? 2) I am on my third cycle of pills...After my first cycle/pack, I tried to skip my period because it would have been more convenient, but it did not work because obviously my body hadn't yet adjusted and I started bleeding on my second to last day of the hormonal pills...I still tried to skip my period but I had it for even longer and I think this was also b/c I was having some breakthru bleeding. I asked a doctor how I could stop bleeding and they said to double dose everyday until it stopped. I did this and it was a success and I got my period on the sugar pills at the end of my second pack. I am now about to finish my third pack and I really really would like to skip my period for several reasons, and I think my body is now adjusted but I am still nervous that this skip will not be successful! Is there anything I can do to insure that I will not get my period? Maybe I could double dose or something? And if I can, when should I, for how many days, and then will I get my period right when I get to the sugar pills of the fourth pack? Thank you so much in advance for your time and help because I know this is an extremely long, confusing, and complicated question. I really appreciate it. 3) Is there any danger in overdosing on BC pills?
