OK ladies - I'm on the pill, and I was suppossed to start my new pack this PAST Sunday.
Of course I hadn't realize I had no more refills, so I finally got the prescription yesterday.

I don't want to start it b/c last time I started so late and doubled up for like 4 days straight, I got sick as a dog

So my question is.....

Do you think I have a leeway of about another week or so before we have to start using condoms?
Or do we have to start right away?

Re: Question - warning, may be TMI......

With my pills, if I miss 2 pills in a row, u need to use another type of contraceptive for one week. If you miss 3 in a row, you have to start a new pack and use another contraceptive method but I don't know for how long. Does your pill have a packet insert? If not, you can do a search on the web for it. The manufacturers usually have them posted on their site.

I took 3 pills one time and I have never been so sick in my life I will never do that again.

Thank you so much ladies, I will definitely ask my gyn about the patch. Sounds like a good deal.
I told DH we'll be using condoms for now

Ladies, the thought of those darn condoms, I think I might rather go without

Anyway, my NEXT question is:

Can I get away with using spermicide?
I have some foam, can I use that alone and forget the condoms? How safe is the spermicide?

Sassy- you crack me up!

DH does not want to start yet, although I do. We're waiting a bit just to be married and enjoy eachother. However, I went off the pill months ago & what's w/ the men not wanting to buy the 'protection'? Interested to see the response to the spermicide question......

Well, DH doesn't mind buying the protection, he will buy it in an instant if that means he gets action

what about withdrawing? would he be against that?
Sassy

Re: Question - warning, may be TMI...... SORRY, JUST ADDED ANOTHER QUESTION, PLEASE READ..........

We already do that, even with the pill - we try to be careful, although let's just say lately he's been 'slipping'

Seriously between withdrawing and spermicide, do you think we're OK?

i think you should be ok......but the only REAL true way of guaranteeing not to get preggo is to abstain right?

I think you are playing with fire if you dont want to be pregnant. Right after you come off the pill, you can be very fertile.
