I was on birth control regularly for about ten months. Then I got really sick and stopped taking them for almost a month and a half. Then I started them up again. How long after re-starting should I use a back up method?

at least a month. it takes that long to get regulated again. you should use a back up regardless unless ur married.

The instructions generally say 3 months. If you are really adamant about not having children I wouldn't chance it by cutting that short at all. And remember, even then nothing is 100% effective, unfortunately.

One month after you start taking the pills should be enough.
Why don't you try the IUD that doesn't emit a hormone? No physical side effects other than occasional spotting. My wife LOVES it.

Well to be 100% safe, use a backup method for a month, just to be sure :-)

I don't really understand the question... but you should always used a back up method if you are worried about it.

some women people do no longer think of o tell their Dr that they are on start administration. there are different meds that could result start administration. maximum could be taken at comparable time daily. There are additionally some infections that could make start administration much less efficient.

Well.....technically you should ALWAYS have a back up method...But, this is something you could maybe ask your doctor. Or http://www.plannedparenthood.com may have something on the subject...

read the directions on the package or from your doctor, and if you are paranoid double the time they advise.
