going from depo shot to birth control pill. Posted: 01-26-08 02:09am
Well I'm a little conserned, I'm stopping
my depo shot for health reasons, and I'm
switching back to the pill. Rite now I'm
trying to decide over seasonal, yazmin or
my good ol ortho tri cyclin.
Since me and my boyfriend are in a serious
relationship we don't use condoms. And I'm
wondering if switching to the pill would
change that? Or if I'm at a higher risk of
getting prego? Or if I have to worry about
the affectiveness of the pill. I'm going
to be extra careful by making sure I take
my pills at the exact time so I should be
ok? Anyone done this type of switch
before?

No, you should not be at a high risk for
becoming pregnant. Just start the new
pills during the week you would normally
go back in to get your next shot. You can
use protection for one week if you want to
but you shouldn't have to.

I also had another concern that came to
mind yesterday, I was wondering if its
safe to have unprotected sex while on your
period? When I switch to the pill and I
get my period again I was just wondering
If I would be able to without having to
worry getting pregnant since everything is
coming out so to speak lol
I can't wait to switch to the pill cause I
seriously want to lose the weight that I
gained while on the depo shot.

It is safe to have sex during the placebo
week.
It is NOT safe to have sex during a
non-hormone-controlled period unless you
are carefully tracking your ovulation.

Hmm I think that when I get my periods and
I'm feeling Randy we.ll just use condoms
to be safe lol until I start taking the
pills that have
hormones in them
. I think I should be ok

You'll be okay anyway, but that's your
choice. Protection doesn't change a bit.

Oh cool I thought I had to be extra
careful during the days that I'm taking
the non hormonal pills. Wow I'm gonna love
being back on the pill thanks
