7 days...or a month?
| Sun, 03-25-2007 - 1:14am |
ive been tolsd here on the boards that i am protected from pregnancy after only 7 days of taking the pill(even now when im only on my very first pack) but my friend who is on the same pill was told by her doctor that she will be protected after 2 months...
so which one?
ps. ive taken 8 pills now(Alesse 28), all ontime, the first night, i was feeling Terribly, Terribly sick...but i mixed my very first pill wiht drinking..so that was probly not smart. but otherwise, im perfectly fine.

Hi again hon, welcome back!

ok well im a bit confused..ive heard lots of differnt things about this topic. but is it true that once ive started(Alesse 28) and after 7 pills, im protected not matter what during the whole month..even when im on the inactive pills? that is if i take them ccorrectly which i am, and at the same time every day too.
and my pill information doesnt say anything about it.

oh ok so i am protected. :) even tho ive only taken 12 pills now, plus i havnt had any of that.
but i read somewhere that acetmephetin??? sorry cant spell it, but i heard that can effect taking Alesse :S !!! and i took 2 for a headache a few days ago, is it true that will decrease the pills effectiveness??

Acetaminophen should not decrease the effectiveness of Alesse.
