Hi all,
Does anyone know if x-rays can affect BCP? I keep my BCPs in my purse and was in D.C. this weekend (where every freaking building you go in has a metal detector) and plus went through security at the airport. Is it possible the x-rays/metal detectors could somehow mess with the ingredients in my BCPs?

I'm on day three of my placebos and should have my period by now... I'm starting to freak out a bit. Any input would be appreciated. Help!

My period will occasionally change start days, even with Nuvaring.
