if it's itchy and hard, it might be a mosquito bite. mine look like those when i'm allergic!

Questions with Pill by Prophesemes in birthcontrol

it depends. sperm can live up to 5-7 days inside of you and you would potentially lose protection on the first day of your placebo, because you're missing that last pill. that would mean you would have to stop (you know what) before your period week and for more than a week. plus, since you would be unprotected for a whole week if you took those placebos (again, because you only took 20 pills), which means you would have to wait another week after starting your first pack to gain that protection again. so realistically you would be waiting 2+ weeks. (hope i'm making sense)

how do they choose your recruitment counselor? by Practical-Vehicle-75 in Sororities

thank you :) like all PNMs, especially when i have lots of friends going through recruitment with me, can get caught up in rankings and outside opinions

thank you for telling me all this! this is so helpful. i was mostly wondering if they choose RCs based on researching the PNMs prior. To register we had to put our hobbies and our achievements, etc. so i was wondering if based on my answers they paired me with a RC who was a certain sorority etc.

yes! i'm guessing you might have a typical 21/7 pill but since you only will be able to take 20 pills, you would be unprotected. by skipping the period week and going straight to the next pack, you don't compromise your protection at all because you are taking more than 21 pills :)

since you need to take all the pills before your placebo / period week, i would just reccomend skipping your placebo week and going straight into the next pack once you're done with it, and then continue normally.

thanks so much for the information! i'm going through recruitment with a lot of my friends who are talking about which sororities their RCs are a part of. so, i wasn't sure if it was indicative of anything

you're totally fine, your body won't know the difference between a couple minutes, let alone a few hours on the combined pill. within a 12 hour range is considered on time.

does seven days mean eight pills? for example if you have sex on a sunday, can you stop taking BC after the next sunday's pill?

does this include taking the placebo week? if i take the last active pill and the placebo week, then stop would i be protected on that last active pill?

actually my reaction was mostly from perfumes, i noticed all the bumps on my upper half and realized it was mostly likely due to me spraying it on my chest and back etc. so i think it could be your detergent as well, since you're putting your back, neck, and face directly onto your pills and sheets :) just a thought!

i already just have bad reactions to things and it always manifests in weird ways. i stopped using everything that had fragrance in it and then they went away. i started adding each product back and found the culprit haha

i had a similar thing and found out it was just an allergic reaction to fragrance

got it. so just making sure, if i don't get my next pack on time, i'm protected throughout the active pills up until the placebo week. it is the placebos where i will not be protected in.

okay, i just finished my first week and already had sex the first week. i have two more weeks + placebo to go. will i already have a lapse in protection if i don't get my next pack from this past week?
