 Posted: 07/13/08 - 14:58 Post subject: It is safe? Birth control pills 3hours late every |
  |
|
Hy i have one question. My GF is using Prolog birth control pills for 2 months now, but now she was on trip and she was taking that pills 3hours latter. Instead at 22(10pm), she was taking them round 01(1am) for 8 days. Now she is taking them at 22(10pm) again. In instructions it says that she can be late for 12hours...but i dont belive that.
It is safe to have intercourse without condom?  |

It is safe to have intercourse without condom? |
There are actually two questions here.
First, why do you not believe the instructions when they say she can be up to 12 hours late when she takes a pill? It's in the instruction, man... who would know better than the manufacturer?
Second, you ask if it is safe to have intercourse without a condom. Why? Safe from what...pregnancy? I don't know...do you trust your girlfriend or not?
I would think if she's been on bc pills all this time, and she's taking them regularly, the chances would be pretty good that she's still protected...
but I don't know your gf.
Is it safe from STDs? STIs? Heck no! I don't know what your gf was doing while away... I don't know how faithful either of you have been.
I would think that you ALWAYS want to be safe, and so a condom would always make sense.
But what is it that you really want to know? If you can trust your girlfriend or trust the manufacturer? |

I suspect that if the instructions say take this pill once a day, and she takes it at 10 pm for lots of days, then shifts to 1 a.m. for 8 days,.... it still is spaced every 24 hours apart.
I think the idea is to maintain the same level of hormone... OR to apply the fluctuation of the hormone content in regular dozes.
So, *although I am no doctor nor pharmacist, I would think that she's OK and safe.
The only small period that I would be concerned about is that initial 3 hour delay where the pill was spaced 27 hours apart. As long as she's been regular each day, I wouldn't worry.*
Now, as to your question about whether it's safe to have sex without a condom... it depend on why. For birth control, I suspect so. If you have any doubt, use it for a month or so until you're sure.
However, if you fear an STI or STD, keep using them. |
