Bc and Pregnancy

Opinion?
If my husband didn't want another baby & I was switching pills, I'd follow instructions to the T AND use alternative back up!

ETA 2: SWH is what I expected. All the fault of MMP members who answered and now its a " test". Yeah... Froggie... I believe you, I really really do.... NOT. I repeat.... It is no longer about YOU. WHEN will you "get" that???? Yes, I do believe you are a fool for not allowing your own children in your room. What are you hiding in there?

********************************************************************************
Are you secretly trying to get pregnant by accident because you want another baby and hubby does not? I had a neighbor do that and her husband left her due to her deceitfulness.

I don't know your chances of getting pregnant when switching bc doses but if hubby is not on board with another child, I would certainly use extra bc back up and Christy Lee is correct.... If he is sure about not wanting more, he should get snipped before he has more than he planned.

That is my opinion on this subject matter!

ETA: I don't view this post as "fun". I view it as someone being sly and deceitful to the 1 person in your life who you should be closest too. I feel for your hubby. I also feel for your children who are banned from your room. It's not all about you anymore!!!

Sorry. I don't see any part of your post as being fun. I don't know of any way to answer this in a fun way. Perhaps you want someone to say, guess you got away with showing your husband who's in charge here. Not funny. Maybe you could add something telling us what fun means for you.

After your SWH: what could be as dangerous as available meds in the bedroom that could not be put out of reach? I know some arents prefer not to have kids in there room. I've never heard that it was because their room was dangerous and they aren't as rigid as you seem to be. I wonder how having them come in while you're with them could be dangerous. This is a red flag that there is more to your story.

I suggested an alternative response based on my experience and training with children's needs and deep concern for children. I expected you to be interested enough that you'd think about what I said. If you don't agree just ignore what I said.

Why are you so defensive? Defensiveness usually indicates the person needs to consider the possibility that the writer has hit a nerve. It's an opportunity to reconsider your decision and action. No need to lash out. Just ignore what I suggested.

I responded the way I did in your other post because in this post you ask a question about a serious subject and ask for fun answers and the other post sounds so simple when again the situation is much more complex than you seem to realize. You didn't ask simple questions. I suggest that if you'd just ask for ways to keep your boys out of the bedroom. No need to tell the story behind your question if all you want is an answer to the simple question. In my experience when a mom gives as much information as you do, they are either looking for approval or are uncomfortable with the decision and want help. If my response is not helpful to you ignore it. Remember that other moms may find my answer helpful. This site is for all moms. We weren't having a private conversation.

As for this question. Fun became the focus because you said fun. Why would you even ask the question when you already know the answer? Your SWH sounds defensive on that subject too. Please consider you are getting these answers because of the way you word your questions. You can learn to ask in a way that is more clear. You have the power to either change the questions to be more clear to to ignore the answers and move on. I feel like you're wanting to change me and other moms. If you're wanting to improve interactions, you have to be respectful of the other person and their thoughts. Obviously we are not understanding what you want. That doesn't mean we're wrong. It means there has been a failure in communication. Communication involves at least 2 people and both have responsibility for making that communication successful.

I'd call the doc's office and speak with a nurse. And use a backup method.

If DH doesn't want any more children, perhaps he should start looking at getting snipped.

Opinion? It's not "fun" to toy with getting pregnant on the "oops, it's because I switched birth control, it failed, sorry!" plan when your husband has been clear that he's done.

Yeah, sure he should get a vasectomy as others have said. But he seems also to have an opinion that he can trust you to use birth control correctly and honestly. You're hoping it will fail (I would love another baby, I didn't use alternate protection, what's done is done, I get pregnant so easily....).

If it's easy for you to get pregnant, then it's likely you'll get pregnant.

If DH doesn't want anymore kids then he needs to get a vasectomy and take some responsibility for your collective fertility.

Getting pregnant 'accidentally' on purpose is bad for your marriage.

it sounds like you are trying to trick your husband to get pregnant. I wouldn't do that.

There's no "fun" in this. Do you know how many women come on to this board begging for information on fertility and they've taken YEARS to conceive and here you are missing one pill and BAM?! Pregnant!?!? No. This is NOT just for fun. Sorry.

You should have used another form of birth control until you found out if the other one was strong enough. It truly sounds like a sneak attack on your husband.

Good luck!

it's a distinct possibility. if you need the low-estrin pill, i'd have your husband use condoms too.

S.

When you take the mini pill, it's effective immediately. It works by changing your mucus, etc. So as long as you started on day 1 of your cycle, you should be ok (I assume you waited till your cycle began over).

The important part of mini pills is you have to take at the same time each day - within a few (3) hours.

If you changed pills, but took them continuously without missing any, you most likely are fine and your body will adjust to the different dose.

I was on Lowegestrol 24 for about a year and hated it. For me it was way too low. I also had missed a pill of it and breakthrough bleeding until my next period ended! It was horrible. I am now on Ocella( Zarah) and have been on it for 3.5 years and love it. No side effects, my cycles are always regular, and I don't gain weight!
