This tells of a few things that will mess up pill effectivness besides the antibiotics we all know about...one being overweight...but you don't have to be real heavy. It says a person of 5'4 and 155lbs is considered overwight and will compromise the effectivness. That isn't even what I would consider overweight, not skinny...but I wouldn't think that someone would be at risk with that kind of stats...but thats what it says. Another thing is St. Johns Wart, the herb a lot of people take to help with depression, that is starting to show up as a reason for failure too...

Thanks for the article. Yesterday I posted wondering if I might be pg. I'm on the pill and my period comes every month at the exact same time...but this month I should have started late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning and here it is Friday and there is still no sign of AF. Any suggestions on when I should test?
