    Hi i am going on my holidays on saturday... i began taking the pill last wednesday, for the first time ( so i am taking the pill one week now) i went on the pill to not only prevent me from getting pregant but to stop having my period on holiday. When i started taking my pill i was not on my period like as it had been away 2 and half weeks before taking the pill.

    what do u think would be my chances of getting pregannt while taking the pill like this if i have sex on holiday? ..while not taking the pill on the exact time started (on period)

    what do u think my chances would be of taking my period while on holiday? (as my due date is on holiday i would usually take it if i wasnt on the pill)

    thanks..

    This is your first time taking the pill? I believe they usually say to use another form of birth control for the first month. I would read the insert that comes in the package.

    I'm unsure about getting your period. Though I don't think you should get it, I'm not sure since you didn't start the pill while on your period as they suggest.

    It's called a condom....use it.

    I would reccomend using a condom if you're planing on having sex. If you're on your first month of the pill it isn't up to it's full efficiency yet, so it's still risky. Use a condom. Be safe.

    The pill is effective during the first month too but only if you start taking it on the first day of your period. Since you didn't, you should use a condom.

    ^^^^All the bc I've read about says it's not fully effective until it's been used a full month.

    Definitely use a condom. I didn't have sex my first month on it because I knew that I might get pregnant. Always use a backup when you're not sure.

    If you don't want your period over your holidays, skip the last 7 pills (sugar pills) and start a fresh pack. (I'm guessing that's what you mean?)
    Either way, don't stop taking your pills. The last set of pills don't really do anything....but they help keep you on track.

    My gyno says it is, but only if you start taking it on the first day of your period. :confused:
