can skipping white birth control pills help with getting pregnant?

momofasass

I'm going to start IVFsoon. Dr. put me on birth control pills. When I called to schedule Hysteroscopy
the nurse told me to skip white pills to avoid getting my period. Hubby and I are having unprotected sex. Can I get pregnant? This is my first month. Now What?

Answer
No, you can't get pregnant while on birth control. I assume your doctor had a good reason to put you on them, since you will be starting IVF soon, but while you are on the pill you can't get pregnant. That is how it works.

The nurse was just giving you a friendly tip: getting your period while on birth control is just a way to mimic a natural cycle, it has no other function. There is no medical reason to get your period while on birth control. So you might as well NOT get your period. It's only a nuisance. And if you skip the white pills, you won't have to deal with that nuisance.

Birth control questions. What is the risk of getting pregnant while on low-dose birth control?

Hi, I have a few questions I really need answers for.
I am currently on my first pack of low dose birth control pills. I am aware that it takes a full pack to become effective, so I've been using back-up methods such as condoms. After this week, I will be on my second pack of birth control. I have religiously taken the pill around 9pm every night, but I switched the times I took the pill ONCE. I took it at 5pm for the first few days, then I started taking it at 9pm after that for the rest of the month, not switching times again. Is that okay?

Questions:
Once I've started my 2nd pack of birth control, I would like to be able to have unprotected sex, but I don't want to get pregnant. How can I have unprotected sex while on the low dose pill, and make sure I don't get pregnant? I'm always afraid that the pill alone will not be enough.

Please help me! I need advice and tips for this!

Answer
Whenever you change the time you take a pill, miss a pill and have to take two, or just completely miss a pill and not take two to make up for it you should use a back uo form of birth control, like condom, for the next 7 days. If you ever miss more than one pill you need to use a back up form of birth control for 30 days. If you continue taking it religiously and on time every time you will be fine. Just remember if anything goes wrong with your pill to use a back up birth control! :)

Im 3 months pregnant, vitamins?

Lupita Gar

Im 3 months pregnant and i have to take vitamins and iron, their pills and i cant pass pills its really hard for me i havent taken the vitamins because of that i tried putting them in little pieces and take it like that with water idk if it still works like that, what should i do? ):

Answer
Your prenatals you might be able to find in a gummy form (like a gummy bear) so that it's just chewable and you don't have to try to swallow a whole pill. I have no idea about the iron but you could probably talk to the doc about it. Otherwise you could try to get capsule form that you can just open the capsule and pour the contents into some applesauce or something and take it that way. If that fails, there's always grinding up the pills and doing the applesauce thing. With the vitamins though they really do have gummy versions, so I'd try that as it is bound to be the easiest!

Prenatal vitamins?

I know that you are suppose to take prenatal vitamins before you get pregnant. But do you still take them when you are pregnant???

Answer
Before I was pregnant I took vitamin supplements, and was told that you're supposed prenatals during pregnancy. However, the fact of the matter is that prenatal vitamins are not as good as regular vitamin supplements. They do not give the pregnant woman the right amount of some vitamins that she needs, like calcium, which is very important for bone growth as well as baby development. I would suggest that instead of taking prenatals, you take regular vitamin supplements A, Magnesium, Multivitamin, C, B-50 and then at a different time of the day take Calcium, Magnesium, and D together. The D helps break down the Calcium, and you need the magnesium as much as your Calcium.

The reason I say to take these others as well as a Multivitamin is because the multivitamin pill does not have the amount that a pregnant woman should be getting, and neither does a prenatal. It is better to control your amounts by taking the pills individually.
