perfect use of birth control and likelihood of pregnancyFrom: Anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 26 Dec 2001 10:36:33 -0600 (CST)
I am just curious about what experience you have heard of for oral birth control failures. I currently use birth control and a condom simultaneously when i have sex with my boyfriend. Just recently we had sex without a condom. I am currently using micronor and have never missed a pill or taken it at a more than three hour variance from the prior day. I don't take any antibiotics (As i understand this can affect the pill), haven't vomited, nor experienced diarrhea (also considered risk factors). I am wondering about when oral contraceptives fail. Do you find failures occur do to missed pills, late pills almost exclusively (and the above risk factors)? Or do women become pregnant while using the pill perfectly (According to the instructions)? I am just wondering. I think I will continue to use two methods and occasionaly not use the condom. I just wanted to know what you have learned, from the experience? What kind of risk do you think i am taking when i don't use the condom? Also i will be switching to mircette - at which point in my cycle will it be best to switch - b/c i want to avoid as much excess bleeding etc during the switch. thanks for your help.
