::Sigh::
Okay, I have tooo many questions and I've looked through everything, Hopefully I didn't miss anything that would have answered all my questions because my computer wont let me see most of what i should see on the internet, but here i go:

I went to the gyno today for the first time ever. I'm traumatized but it wasen't as bad as I thought it was going to be, the main reaon I went is because I wanted birth control.
My Doctor put me on Yasmin. I don't start taking the pills till this sunday since my period ended today. I got tested and I'm clean and my boyfriend is going this week to get tested (I refuse to have condomless sex with him untill he does get tested.)

so my questions are:

1. If I miss a day and I take it later on in the day or early morning the day after is it still safe to have sex without condoms?

2. Is it okay that I drink and smoke an occational small amount of marajiuana?
(I drink a lot buti dont smoke on a normal basis, maybe once a month and i could live without it it's not a problem and i quit smoking ciggerettes weeks ago)

3.Can I have sex during my period while I'm taking the placebos or am I not protected because it's not actual hormones?

4.My doctor said that the BC will be completely effective after one week of taking it, I'm still nervous about this, should I wait longer?

5. My doctor also said im going to feel really sick and nauseous, does anyone know how to cure this if it does happen?

6. And last but not least; Does anyone have another other words of wisdom? I'm freaking out and I'm really nervous and I haven't even started taking the pills yet!


Thanks Sooooo Much
♥ Samantha

1. You should check the insert that comes with your pills. Every pill has it's own time frame... I generally use a backup if I miss it by more than 6 hours.

2. I drink and smoke comparable amounts to you, and it's just fine. The precautions with smoking cigarettes are important, though, for blood pressure/blood clotting reasons, so if you start smoking cigs again, you should go back to the doctor and make sure it's sitll okay to be on the pill.

3. You're safe. I do it every month (couldn't live w/o it...)

4. I waited a whole month at the request of my boyfriend. The one week should be fine, but it makes me nervous (personally)... by the end of 2 weeks you should be fine.

5. I don't think there's a cure besides waiting it out... I didn't get any side effects whatsoever, except that they made me cry a lot.

6. It's good that you're asking so many questions because it means you'll probably be really reliable about taking your pills on time!
