    The best time to take a HPT is after you miss your period.

    Certain antibiotics will cause the pill to become inactive.

    Also, remember that the pill is not 100% effective all the time. You can still become pregnant if you take the pill EXACTLY as directed.

    I took the pill AND used a condom and got pregnant not once, but twice.

    I'm sorry, as a nurse I don't sugar coat anything. As a mother of 4, I don't sugar coat anything.

    I should never have gotten pregnant with any of my children but I did. One thing it taught me was that abstinence or a total abdominal hysterectomy is the only way you won't become pregnant.

    13 years ago I was told that I was sterile because of chemotherapy for my cancer. My son is now 9 years old.

    If you aren't ready to be a parent, avoid sex like the plague!

    Ok thanks if I am pregnant , which will be two weeks what symptoms will I have to look out for , because the birth control pills gives you the same symptoms as pregnancy does . I don't want the baby where should I go to abort it .

    Actually, premenstrual symptoms are the same as pregnancy. Sore breasts, frequent urination, irritable moods, etc.

    The first sign of pregnancy is a missed period, so you have to wait for that.

    Now, just so you know, I am pro choice. However, abortion is not always the answer. Abortion can carry long term mental issues, as adoption can as well.

    Since this is a global website, and I don't know where you live in this world, I can only suggest Planned Parenthood should you decide to go the abortion route.

    However, let's not put the cart before the horse. Let's find out if you are pregnant first.
