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,

lets see if we can make it another page.... ;o)

I was reading one of the leaflets that come with the pills I was taking ... once apon a time.... it said that the Pill was not as effective if you exceed 197 lbs. makes sense to me... well I am over 197 LOL so since I couldn't remember to take the pill daily.... another problem... I switched to an IUD. or IUC as they call them today. I have 2 kids youngest is 8 I DO NOT WANT ANYMORE !!!

I will have to check into the antibiotic thing with the IUC and see if there is any contradiction in effectiveness. hummmmmmm I have a dr appt tomorrow, I have to remember to ask.

Given that I'm a crappy housekeeper, I'm NOT roflmao, I'm still in my chair. I guess it's riclmcao...rolling in chair laughing my considerable ass off...

Beth and Donna in VA....you're killing me

TPG

I have a 20 year old son because of mixing birth control pills with antibiotics. Better safe than sorry. For the record, I'm not sorry, though.

Nope no antibiotics, I took the pain killer the first week and one of my nause pills but that is it. Thank You, for your help. Now I can tell my boyfriend "I told you so" =)

You may have been given an anti-biotic through your I.V. and not be aware of it. It's usually practice to do that during surgery.

I got pregnant with an IUD.....

Beth you are hysterical!! i think i read the other 2. Please tell me the 1 about the cervical ring is a joke. Thats right up ther with jumping up and down after sex to avoid getting pregnant!

I got pregnant with an IUD.....

Holy Guacamole! I know it happens but is it due to antibiotic use? or just a fluke?

I went to the dr for a med followup this AM and I forgot to ask!!!

Good news is I go back next Thurs and while she is looking in to do the pap I need to remember to ask.

Note to self................

I just don't understand...if you guys want to have sex and you are concerned...wrap it up!

Birth control is not 100% guaranteed. Pregnancy chances are higher once you lose weight.

I mean its your decision, so maybe you shouldn't ask our opinion....

To the original poster...the above reply says alot. Think about it...who doesn't have a surgery or procedure without antibiotics....hmmmm....wrap it up. lol

Was it the one where the chick said her boyfriend was really well endowed, and she wondered when she did oral on him, if he might get it stuck in her band?

Or was it the other one with another chick with a very well endowed guy worrying he'd hit it during oral and cause slippage?

Damn....I TOLD my wife to quit posting on here, and she goes and posts twice.

That's strange....usually a penis is involved at some point.

Plain I swear if you did stand up I'd pay to go listen.

I just choked on baked fish. Spit takes are bad enough with water or another liquid, but baked fish?

Ah, good...thought I might have missed something today. Nope, the Kama Sutra/BCP/weedeater thread lives on! So glad to know I'm not the only one bored enough to check what page we were up to

Monkey, ick on the fish thing.

TPG

I know. It was bad. But at least it didn't short out my laptop.

So long as you didn't spray fish out your nose. Cuz that would be so... gross... :thumbup:

Plain - don't worry - not your wife - reread the post - it said WELL endowed - not unendowed. I can imagine your excitement though.
