Question! So i have been taking my pill every night, i did the deed with my bf this morning he may have came in me a lil bit. i peed immediate after and i don’t start ovulating till tomorrow… should i be okay?

In this situation, since you are taking your pill consistently and have not missed any doses, the likelihood of pregnancy is lower. Additionally, the fact that you peed immediately after can also help reduce the risk, as it can help flush out any sperm that may have entered your body. So yes, you will be okay

this isn’t true- you can’t flush out sperm by peeing

but if you have been taking your pill correctly you are protected from pregnancy anyway. also you don’t usually ovulate on the pill so any app you’re using to track ovulation is essentially useless

thank you! i just got off my period last week and started my new pack sunday so i’ve been taking my new birth control pack for 3 days i haven’t taken it yet today until tonight. so i was just wondering if i should be concerned.

i’m confused how long was your break and is your pill time not till tonight or have you not taken it yet?

i don’t take the “sugar pills” as i get my period. so at the end of the pack i don’t start a new one right away. until after my period. my pill time is usually at night so i haven’t taken todays pill yet

so you wait till you stop bleeding to start taking your pill again?

yes, after the week of sugar pills which ends on saturday so i start sunday again

so you are taking a 7 day break and starting taking the pills on the 8th day every time then. you’re not just waiting for your bleeding to stop and starting the next pack right?

yes.

to clairify- it isn’t a period it’s a withdrawal bleed. and as long as you only had a 7 day break you are protected during the break and also afterwards if you are taking your pill correctly, a break wouldn’t exist if we weren’t protected during it and after it on the combined pill. so as long as you took your pill correctly you shouldn’t be concerned no- a lot of correct pill users let their partners finish in them, like myself

thank you so much !! moving forward do you think i should just move onto the next pack then or wait till im done bleeding? then start and not wait the 7 days

it’s up to you. if you do make sure to contact your pharmacist/gp and make sure it’s okayed with them so they can give you a refill earlier as you’ll be using more pills

thank you for all this information!

so just clarifying for you- your two options are: 7 days or less break, or skipping the break completely and moving onto the next pack.

you can’t just wait till your done bleeding it has to be 7 days or less :)

thank you !!

You don’t ovulate while on the pill

If you take your pills as instructed you have nothing to be worried about. You also don’t ovulate when using the pill correctly.

i don’t take my birth control at the same time every night. does that affect it at all? my time range is anywhere from like 8-10 when i take it.

minutes?

no from like 8-10pm

no pill has a time frame of less than 3 hours so that would be fine

okay!! it’s more or so like 9-10. i work till 830 pm every night

what pill are you on

@onthepillxo from what she said before it seems like she’s on a combined pill; which have a 24 hour window. Taking it a couple hours later than usual is fine. @snowgirl623

thanks:))^^^

i’m on mylan brand. it has 21 active pills and 7 reminder pills

i believe i have a 24 hour window !

If you’re on the pill and using it correctly you don’t ovulate and you’re not at risk of pregnancy. If you’re ever unsure about your protection status, use condoms.
