thanks jill! I am waiting for my period so i can start the ring.. i finally feel confident about it. So i will be starting that very soon. I got the smaples from the gyno.. i mean i dont have to use the smaples i can just go get the perscritpon filled however that would save me a lot of money i guesss by usuing them. I dont think they were in the car that long maybe 2 1/2 hours... i feel werid calling the pharasist bc i dont kow exactly how long or how hot it got.. i guess ill call anyways... thanks!

hey let me know what you find out. i left my apt for spring break and turned my heat down to like 50 and then realized that they're supposed to stay above mid to upper 50s :( i still have mine in though. i figure they came out of the fridge so it's hopefully ok.

Heyy i called the pharmacy and he said as long as it wasnt in direct sunlight i should be fine. He said about the temp and i think the highest it should get to is 86.. and she didnt think my car got that hot.. im not so sure about that. Ohh well ill take his advice. Im due to put the ring in tomorrow and im SO nervous. Im just scared bout the side effects and all. Ive never really taken anything like this ever, u know new stuff in my body. Im afriad of gainig water weight or soemthing and my flat abs get blubbery or soemthing haha. any words of encouragment would be awesome! and is there a certain time tomorrow if i put it in that i should. like morning or afternoon.. does it affect it as to when u put it in?! THANKS! Help me feel comfortable haha

thanks. i've been reading a lot of stuff and nothing has said anything about it going below the temperature, just not to have it in sun/really hot. so hopefully i'm ok. i'll be finding out this week :-/ so nervous. think i'm going to make the bf start rapping it up again for a while b/c i just get so nervous and don't want to take chances of getting pregnant
