Anyone seen the above news article? Makes me think twice now about switching to Yaz and if this MonoNessa (Orthocyclen) I'm on now falls within what the article talks about. I can't wait until next week when I have my doctor appointment!

I saw it, too. I am concerned, but I'm pretty comfortable with my odds. I take the pill pretty much exactly on time. I've taken it +/- an hour or two on two different occasions, but I'm making a sincere effort to take it at 11pm on the dot since I've had a bit of spotting when I've taken it a little later than normal. I think the 98% chance of pregnancy mentioned in that article is actually statistically better than when women are lackadaisical about their pill times by 2 or more hours, but I might be remembering incorrectly.

Alas, alack...it's so hard to be a woman!
