I am 4 1/2 weeks post op, I take a birth control pill everyday...I haven't missed one since my surgery. Am I protected from pregnancy? Is there something in the medicine they give us at the hospital that could cancel out my birth control?

Thank You,

i think we lost the OP.

Ok, first of all it's responses like these from people that make me nervous about asking any questions on here....aren't we all here to support each other?

OP, I would also agree that if your on antibiotics (or have been) then definitely use a backup to the pill....I also became pregnant w/ my first baby after being on antibiotics even though I took the pill religiously (this is the reason I have been using the implanon ever since as it go's through your bloodstream and not your digestive system).

We might be sketchy on sex, but ask us ANYTHING about food and we'll know it. :thumbup:

I would wear a garbage bag. Just to be safe.

ROFLMAO I am on a roll :thumbup: :thumbup:

Dear Restless Monkey,

If you do not indeed own LBT, why have I made all those checks payable to you???? Now, I can't afford soda in a bottle or a chicken and my weedeater is on the fritz. This started as a bad hair day and just kept sliding down hill from there.

TPG:wink:

Ooooh...Waiting for answer to that one!

I live in South Texas. Actually, I think my neighbor has some! LOL

Hey! Watch it!

To be honest, I've never heard the word before today. Bitchy seems to fit some people better though don't you think! I prefer the term "smart ass"

Can I be a fan of all of the above?

i think we lost the OP.

I guess she got the answer she wanted and is getting busy!

This is a tough one...I'd talk to your doctor first.

I heard the band prevented pregnancy. No? Oops...

With him? Probably.

Someone please start a thread about oral sex and the band, I need something to liven up my day at work tomorrow.

LMAO! You are gonna get some nasty responses. I think you are very funny.:thumbup:

I am 4 1/2 weeks post op, I take a birth control pill everyday...I haven't missed one since my surgery. Can I have unprotected sex with my boyfriend? Will I be protected?

I would venture to say that you were just as protected as you were pre-op. But when in doubt there is always :thumbup: or :thumbup:

For the record....I only made light of this thread because of the vagueness of the question.

Well, it DID leave the door wide open for some colorful interpretation. :thumbup:

so honest,..what can happen if u have an unplanned pregnancy?

What ARE they teaching in sex ed these days? :thumbup:
