Birth control and pregnancy

[GArep]

So i just started taking Seasonale almost two weeks ago. But i know there is still a chance that i could get pregnant, and i dont use condoms on a regular basis. i have to pee like every 30 minutes which isnt normal for me and when i do i have this feeling (i dont know if i like it or not, its actually the weirdest thing ever) but since i cant even explain it i dont even know who to tell. but like when if i waa to get pregnant but i didnt know and i continued to take the pill until the end of the month when im suppose to get my period and i could take a pregnancy test. cause i really thing something might have happened and this really might be a possibilty.

If you are worried of the pill failing, you can try and talk to your doctor about what jaydensmommy10 suggested, i.e. an interuterine device. These do provide a lower failure rate (0.1% with the hormonal one, and 0.6-0.8% with the copper). However, this is up to you and your doctor to discuss if you prefer it, although most women dont like getting these as they see it as inconvenient or uncomfortable, however, it is up to personal preference.

These symptoms that you are experience may just be the body's way of adjusting to the new hormones, however, if you are worried about them and i have a feeling that you are, it may be best to discuss these with your doctor for reassurance. It may take up to 3 months for the body to adjust to the side effects as im told.

Lastly, there are certain medications that can reduce the effectiveness of the pill, such as some antibiotics and supplements, such as St. Johns wort, so be sure to tell the pharmacist/doctor when you are starting anything new. If you are still worried, then you can just do a quick pregnancy test for reassurance.

As long as you have 7 days worth of active pills before any unprotected sex then you should be protected. However, when I say that you are protected, there is still a slight chance you can get pregnant (0.3-8% chance of failure rate with oral contraceptives). And even if you do, depending on which country you live in, you can get the emergency contraceptive pill (e.g. Postinor) after the event which can significantly reduce the chance of you getting pregnant (the earlier you take it, the better the effectiveness). However, this ISNT a form of contraception and you shouldnt take this regularly due to the side effects etc. Condoms are a much better and easier alternative.

As with the bladder problems, it is best to take to your doctor about it, as it is  not a common side effect of the pill.

Hope this helps

i have this thing called implanon. it's this very small thin tube look like that stays in your arm for 3 years. it desolves over time but it really work. you dont have to worry about anything at all when it comes to getting pregnant. you don't have to even worry about condoms either. it works that good!
