Yeah....im not sure how you are still protected but you ARE, the active pills are still in your system.......I think its because your body gets used to the system of when you take the pills, and when you are off them, and if you miss a pill when your body is used to getting it......it hightens the risk. Im completely guessing though.Originally Posted by Dragoriana
Um silly question. How is it placebo/non active pills can still keep you protected..but if you miss one or more active ones, you risk getting pregnant? That does not make sense. They are just sugar pills so im a little confused.
Btw about the condom comment. If you do not wish to abstain from sex, doctors DO recommend using condoms if you are not on the pill, if they were a load of crap they would not recommend it. There is a failure rate with anything you use.
And of course doctors reccommend for you to use a condom if your NOT on the pill, but were talking about using condoms while ON the pill; something I wont do.
