Taking pills late
| Wed, 07-21-2004 - 2:08pm |
I work various shifts at a busy restaraunt, and this week my boss has me on evenings. Usually I take my pill at 10 pm, and usually I am very good about taking it. However, with working all evenings I've been taking my pill late every night for the last week. The closest was about 2.5 hours late ranging to 6 hours late (but I only did that once I swear!). Bad bad bad - I know! but I did eventaully take them all. My question is - DBF works out of town and is comming to visit this weekend, am I gonna have to use a comdom? and alternately - we both detest condoms so what other back up do you think is good method considering the circumstances ie. the fact that I am on the pill and this need for backup really is a blip in the radar, so we need something effective - but not permanant or too expensive. Thanks guys.

I agree that you should use back-up. You might try the contraceptive sponge. Today or Protectaid are two brands that might be available at a pharmacy near you. I agree too that changing to the patch would help minimize maintenance problems.
Good luck,
