rumors
Two questions. My mother has offered to put my girlfriend on the pill. (aka birth control) And i believe they are starting the process some time next week. Two questions i have about it.
1) Is it true that the ultraviolet radiation from a tanning bed deactivates the pill and doesnt allow it to serve the purpose its made for?
2) What are the chances of a girl whos on the pill getting pregnant? I mean of course if were going till we both finish, i'd use a condom but what about pulling out and all that?
Any girls that are pretty sure about this please lemme know. I DONT WANT A KID!!! lol

1) NOT TRUE..I dont know where you heard that but that's not true..I go tanning ALL the time and my gyno has never said anything to me of that sort
2) The pill is about 99.8% affective IF used correctly (taken regularly and at the same time everyday)

for question number one, i know that certain prescription acne creams (retin-a for example) will react with UV light but thats a totally different subject. ive never heard of birth control being made ineffective by UV.
number 2, if you are on the pill is about 98% effective. yes that means it is highly unlikely that you are going to get pregnant when taking the pill correctly but there is always the chance. pulling out may increase those odds, but i wouldnt always rely on that. your best best would be to use a condom while you are on birth control.

1) Not true.
2) The pill is 99.6% effective.
Aww, you dont want a kid, lmao.

Looks like you have gotten pretty good answers.
I only want to add that should she ever need to use an antibiotic for anything....that affects the pill. Usually a doctor will give warning, but just in case, be aware of that. :)

ok about the tanning bed thing i really dont know but go to safesex.com and it should probably tell you the pill and the condom are both 99% effective ya good odds! but that still dosent prone her from getting pegnant!! well hope i helped!! <3 allison

The first question isn't true as far as I know. I've been on the pill for a long time and I've never had a doctor tell me that.
The second question is very slim. If she's on the pill and you use a condom, the chances are next to none. The pill alone, if used correctly, is 99.7% effective. Condoms, when used correctly, are 98% effective. Together, you should have nearly 100% effectiveness.

1) that isnt true.
2) the pill is like 99.9% effective. because it makes the body think she is pregnant when she really isnt. so she cant be pregnant twice.. hope this helps you out. and your lucky to have your mom watchin out for you like that. some parents wouldnt want there kids doin that kind of stuff.

1)as far as i know thats not true
2)the pill is 99% effective, i believe it takes like a week from starting it for it to become effective though, and antibiotics do deactivate it. pulling out is really not effective at all and the amount of chance it removes from her getting pregnant will be far less than the amount of plessure you loose. using a condom would be a good idea, they to are 99% effective so the change of her getting pregnant would be pretty miniscule, and youd also be safeguarding in case either of you has an STD.
