Laxatives can interfere with pill effectiveness if you have loose stools within 2 to 3 hours of taking it.
Once that window passes, they won't affect the medication because it's already in your bloodstream after passing through the stomach. 🙂

Man, Jeffrey Lopez31, I’m truly sorry. Believe me, you can be stronger than you think in situations like this.🙂
Keeping my fingers crossed that everything turns out okay.

Some women struggle to conceive even without pills. But I know two people—one’s a close friend—who were pregnant the very next month after quitting birth control.

There’s no such thing as "waiting for your body to detox." It all comes down to individual hormone levels and fertility. 😉

I searched everywhere, including my own pockets, but once again, nothing. 😁 :/

Joseph Rodriguez3 said:Actually, you don't necessarily have to take a break at all when switching between different types of pills. Some girls just finish their current pack, take their standard 7-day break, and then move right onto the next one. Don't sweat it too much!😉

I get that, but he wants me to take a month off. I don't see the point. I can pick right back up with Logest after the break without any issues. It has the same hormone levels as ten of those yellow Triquilar pills, so it’s not like there's going to be some massive spike or crash. 😁

Bryan Diaz said:What kind of packaging does Triquilar use these days? When I was on it, I had those little stickers you could attach to the pack, and it clearly showed the day underneath—plus the weeks were color-coded, so I always knew exactly which pill I was taking.

I used Logest after Triquilar too, though I don't quite remember how long of a break I took back then.

Maybe they think I might be pregnant, just to prove I'm not after a month. I wasn't on protection the whole time; I didn't realize I missed a dose. If I hadn't started spotting for no reason, I wouldn't have even thought to count my pills. 🙄

Jeffrey Walker3 said:They totally ditched the round packaging and those little day stickers. It’s such a mess now! Honestly, I even messed up once myself, but at least it was within the first week. I couldn't even tell which day I missed!

No, there's no circular packaging here. It’s that elongated style—similar to what you see with Yasmin or Logest. The catch is they don't mark the specific days on every single tablet. Instead, they use numbers. The sequence starts with Sunday at number one, and the days are only explicitly listed up until the first Monday. Not sure how else to put it, but it looks like this:

Austin Jackson6 said:Ladies,
I take my Novynette pills at 7:00 PM every day—standard routine. Yesterday, I missed my dose entirely, so I took it the moment I woke up at 7:30 AM.
That falls within a twelve-and-a-half hour window rather than the strict twelve-hour mark—plus, this is the second-to-last pill in my pack before the break—so I am uncertain if I need to maintain seven days of backup protection? Also, should I start the next pack immediately without taking a break??😕

As far as I know, if you miss your pill in week three after having sex that month, two things can happen:
Stop taking the pills immediately. Take a seven-day break, then resume the regular schedule—meaning, don't take that last dose. Or else.
Finish the last pill, then start the next pack immediately. No seven-day break.

If you haven't had any real relationships, just finish this last drink. Take a break. Act like nothing ever happened. 🙂

Yeah, I’ve got a question too. Spoke with my OB-GYN over the phone. Appointment is set for Monday.

Here’s the situation. I'm on Triquilar, which uses that delayed-release packaging. I missed a pill for the first time, and now I have absolutely no clue what day or week it actually is. I’m completely lost. As a result, I started bleeding halfway through the pack—probably because I missed a dose around then, though I can't be certain—and it hasn't stopped. It's been 15 days straight. It's just light spotting, nothing heavy, but it won't quit.

Ginić tells me I have to take a month off. Wait for my regular period to hit, then start on a new pack.

They’re moving me to Logest. 😕

So, he’s a doctor, but I want to hear from you all. What has your experience been like with your physicians? Isn't there supposed to be a rule against taking such short breaks with pills—like only a month? Isn't that hard on a body that's already adjusted to hormones?

He’s juggling these pills, switching me from one to another. Thinking about changing him.

Morgan Watson6 said:That person was spouting such nonsense and inaccuracies it became ridiculous. Especially that claim about how no dealer would want weed decriminalized because they'd end up paying taxes.
If you're going to post just to look smart when you clearly don't know the subject, at least do some research first.
I had to step in and explain what decriminalization actually means, and then today I had to clarify why a dealer wouldn't be paying any taxes if marijuana were legalized—and I did it with some very vivid examples.

And what "vivid" way would that be? 🍿
I'm dying to hear how someone avoids paying taxes on a legal substance, using your "vivid" explanation. Post the link first. Also, stop hijacking the thread.

redmarlin3 said:There. Now I can see him clearly.

🤦

The Facebook pal returns😁

Hey, redmarlin3, try using a different browser.

I'm kidding, I actually died laughing

John, Anne, whatever else 🤣 🤣
Typo. My bad. 😁

Adding an unban appeal option would be a win, but it wouldn't solve the core issue.
It sounds like John pointed out the real problem with these appeals: people use them to vent their frustrations about the site, specific threads, or certain files. They make sure to highlight that they're leaving specifically because of those grievances rather than any other reason.

If we swapped permanent bans for appeal requests, I bet people who want to quit would just start writing "farewell letters" instead. Those "peace out, stay classy" posts can be just as annoying as a formal ban appeal, and honestly, people won't be able to resist the urge to post them. 😁

Bottom line: anyone looking for drama will find a way to create it. I've seen it happen with my own eyes. 😁

Sash, best move ever 🙏
I'm sick of the drama. I'm out. Peace.
Dezdemona, blow it out, candle 🤦

Look, dustypuma5, I didn't mean anything by it. What I said is just the truth. People have talked about that script before, but in the entire history of these forums, not a single admin has ever admitted it’s running, and no user has actually confirmed it 😁

It's basically the "Elvis Presley is alive" theory, sorry, I was just joking 🙂

If it makes you feel any better, there isn't a single forum online where people don't ask, "Are the admins reading our PMs?"
It’s one of those classic internet urban legends—one of those endless mysteries that just never goes away. Honestly, at this point, I've almost grown fond of it. 😁

I'm not sure about the logout issue. It might just be a glitch specific to this site. The easiest fix is to check the "remember me" box when you log in. As for managing multiple accounts, the best way is to create separate user profiles on your PC. A worse alternative is manually logging out of the forum every time you step away from the computer.

Yeah, it’s probably just this site. It only happens here. Setting up multiple user profiles on my computer is likely the best move.
Still, finding and killing this bug would be nice.

Thanks anyway.

Jacob Foster11 said:Define what you mean by "it kicks me out."

So, after I log in, it says "Thanks for signing up, briskmoose90," but instead of taking me back to the page I was actually looking at, I just get hit with another vBulletin login prompt. It’s acting like I never even logged in. 🤷

I'm not sure if this is an actual bug, but I wanted to report it because it happens constantly and it's getting incredibly annoying. It’s especially frustrating when I log back in after my session expires just to send a quick reply, only to be kicked out by 🙄
.
I can't pin down exactly when this started, but it isn't just a recent thing. This doesn't happen on any other site or forum, and it happens regardless of which computer I'm using.

Olivia Cooper27 said:😲
So far, nothing has happened except for me sleeping through most of this—which I’m praying stays the case... though hope is a damn liar. Regardless, I’m going to call someone right now and head to the ER. Thanks for all the advice, whether it was helpful or not. 🙂

Look, it's not that bad. What they give you will make you feel much better than anything you could take on your own right now.
Even if nothing happens in the next 72 hours, any damage already done can catch up to you later, just when you've stopped expecting anything.
Good luck. 🙂

Olivia Cooper27 said:Yes, I am. No, I don't want a psychiatrist who is just going to shovel a hundred different pills down my throat just to get me off whatever I'm on... and I won't go to the ER because they'll just label me as "suicidal" and march me straight into a psych ward... that's the whole issue, nothing else. If I should have thought about this sooner, I agree, but again, I have my reasons. If there isn't any "home remedy" for this—fine, then I guess everything will just clear itself out in a few days.

Look, your body, your choice.
I don't know, nobody at the ER can force you into psych care. You get a referral and go on your own terms. Unless you're acting completely unhinged at the hospital, which you won't be.
Just say you made a mistake and leave it at that. Stop worrying about what they think and focus on helping yourself. If you truly didn't intend to end it, prove it to yourself by seeing a doctor.
Neither you nor anyone else knows how much damage you've done or what the fallout will be. Personally, I'd go just out of fear for my own life.
Your mom doesn't need to know. Don't tell her if you aren't ready.
Like Eric Wright29 said, don't wait until it's too late. If something happens and an ambulance ends up at your door, that's when your mom finds out.

She went on a whole rant. She said "No, thank you" at least four times in her post, but the biggest red flags are her refusing both a therapist and the ER.
Now she’s looking for advice on drinking tomato juice after knocking back thirty shots and several liters of booze.
Look, it’s not about judging her. If she actually wants help, that’s the only real help we can offer. But she made it clear: no doctors, period—not just no psychiatrists, but no medical professionals at all. 🤷
