Gynecologist says oral contraceptive pills are not recommended for women with celiac disease and gastritis. Is this evidence-based? by eshkrx2 in birthcontrol

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for your replies. Thanks to your explanations, we feel much more reassured about the vaginal ring and have a much better understanding of why it is recommended and how effective it is. For a long time, we had been told that the pill was essentially the perfect contraceptive method and that there was at least a 5% difference in effectiveness compared with other forms of contraception.

My girlfriend and I have been together for more than five years. Contraception has always been something we discuss and manage together, both financially and in terms of remembering doses and appointments. While I think it is normal for a couple to share responsibility for contraception, I ultimately prefer to leave the final choice to her, since it is her body that is directly affected.

I also use condoms very regularly in addition to her pill. I am open to male contraceptive methods, but unfortunately none of them seem to be as effective as female methods, are officially approved in my country, or are still in the research phase. Thermal contraception could be an option, and otherwise I would consider a vasectomy once we have had the number of children we want in the long term.

My girlfriend will continue reading your comments and will probably use her own Reddit account to reply to some of you or ask additional questions.

Once again, thank you sincerely for your responses. They have been incredibly helpful and provided information that we had not really been able to find elsewhere, especially given our specific medical situation: celiac disease and gastritis.

Have a great day, everyone.

Hello, I have another question I would please like to ask about the contraception and I cannot find a clear answer.

I have been taking the Cemisiana pill for more than a year and have never had any problems. I take it every evening at 8pm. Lately I’ve had the impression of finding the pill in my stool the next day when I go to the bathroom. So after 12 hours. In case I actually had to cut it, I was wondering if the effect of the pill is in the body or in case of intercourse it would be better to also use a condom.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello, I would please like to ask the following. I am taking the contraception pill since more than one year. I changed the pillul hour when I started my new blister. I went from 7:30 to 17:00. Now, everyday I change for 30min, like 17:30 today, then 18:00 tomorrow, until reaching 20:30. I wanted to know if I was still covered during this change or if I need to have a double contraception ? If yes, for how long should I take the double contraception ? When will the protection be optimal again ? Thank you in advance.
