Does the pulliling out method prevent you from pregnancy if you are on the pill for about 6 months

I had two children, I love them very much, but they were not planned, one was a pill baby, and one was a condom and foam baby, so there are not guarantees, but I am a strong advocate, for the depo shot, then you do not have to remember to take the pills every single day, and have your chances go up, if you miss a dose.

yeah i used to have the depo injection i think its better than the pill cause if you are sick with the pill u can get pregnant

Oh ya, I never thought of that! If you have the stomach flu, then you can not even keep those pills down for a good 2-3 days! Good point staffie!

I've always wondered how long do those pills take to take effect? I mean I doubt when you start taking it that the pill will take effect immediatly. What do you have to wait like a month (one menstral cycle) for full effectiveness.

I have heard, one month, not missing one single pill, for the best protection. I am not sure about the depo shot? I will ask someone who knows.

well with the depo i always got told to use protection for the first few days after having the injection. being sick doesnt effect the depo like the pill though and it stops periods so its better all round IMO lol

oh wow, I'd never let my teenagers have a birth control pill. Just finding out they where having sex while unmarried and living in my house might lead to a very long grounding. I know its strict but one of the rules I would have for my house is you don't have sex with anyone you are not married to while living in my house. (And hopefully if they are married they wouldn't be living in my house)

yeah but teenagers dont need their parents permission though. i do know what you are saying though because you strongly believe in no sex before marriage

they will need the parents permission to get it proscribed. I'll let my doctors know that if they proscribe birth control to my daughter before she is 18 then I will be finding a new doctor. In my opinion you have the right to know anything your child is being proscribed, or any medical procedures being performed on your child up until they are 18 years old. That includes abortions and birth control. Oh and even after she's 18 the no sex with someone you arn't married to while living in my house still applies.

I am not sure, but planned parenthood, may not need the parents permission, but I am not 100% sure, I will check on this. I know that some schools allow the passing out of condoms. It is like a sexual awareness thing.

This is just Rhode Island, but you get the picture by this article.

II. PREGNANCY AND RELATED ISSUES
There has been considerable controversy and litigation (lawsuits) at the federal level surrounding the issue of whether a public school or publicly funded health clinic can offer a voluntary program that distributes birth control methods to minors without a parent's or guardian's consent (permission). It is generally agreed that a minor's constitutional right of privacy is stronger than a parent's right to control the decision of a minor who wishes to use birth control to prevent pregnancy. Rhode Island recognizes a minor's right to privacy in this area. You own your body and it is your choice to use birth control as prescribed by your physician.(69)

A recent survey showed the 47% of the girls currently using health clinics for birth control services would stop doing so if their parents were told they were using it. Another recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 99% of girls would continue to be sexually active even if they stopped using the health services at a clinic.

Parental permission (consent) requirements violate federal programs and guidelines under the Social Security Act and other federal laws protecting the economic rights of families. Neither you nor your doctor is breaking the law if you request and receive a prescription for birth control.(79)

In Rhode Island, if you don't have any money to pay for birth control, RITE Care will cover the cost for you. To access this program and medical services, you may call RITE Care at (401) 462-1300, which is administered by the Rhode Island Department of Human Services.

Fortunutly I don't live in Rhode Island I live in Indiana where we belive in the rights of parents. If planned parenthood gives my daugher birth control pills without me knowing I'll sue their asses off. And i will win just off the principal that EVERY parent has the right to know what medical treatments and proscriptions their children are receiving. This is about parential rights. Minors don't have a right to privacy from their parents other then that privacy which is granted to them from the parents. And if I found birth control pills in my daughters room, I won't have to worry about her having sex because I'll homeschool her and she won't leave the house to go anyplace without me or her mom. Oh and by the way I'm sure I could get that federal law declared unconstituional on the basis of denying parential rights. Especially thanks to the more conservative supreme court.

so if your daughter was having problems with painful periods etc you still wouldnt let her have the pill? doctors cant tell anyone patients information its confidential even to parents and least where i live anyway
- Report
by staffie on February 5th, 2007
no I'd let her have the pill for those reasons. Note I many times referred to it as her hiding it from me or getting it without my knowledge. But if the doctor could tell me that it has demonstratable medical value, such as reduction of discomfort in periods that is outside of pregancy reduction then I would let her have it but it would be with my knowledge. And if she didn't feel comfortable with me she could tell her mother and her mom could pass it on to me so that she (my daughter) doesn't feel uncomfortable. But if my daughter is getting birth control without me or her mother knowing then that violates trust and yes I am going to have a caniption fit because I'm not going to enable someone to live in my house and violate my morals. BTW just so I'm clear about this, I'd do the same things if I found some condoms on my son's person/room. Edit: Oh and its different where I live. Until I was 18, my mom or dad had to sign off on every proscription, every medical treatment, and my doctor had to give them all the information upon request. (When I was a teenager I saw the doctor on my own but all my mom had to do was call the office and they had to tell her everything.) Where do you live that a parent can't get information on their under 18 y/o children's medical treatments. And how far does it go? Does a 4 year old have a right to privacy?

BTW in Indiana you can't buy cough syrup now until you are 18. It didn't used to be that way but there is some really lame over the counter medicine that has some ingrediants of meth in it and Indiana is really cracking down. So you can't legally do much til you are 18 in Indiana. Its all on your parents, the way it should be. Yeah here a doctor can only deliver life saving treatments without someone signing. If you can't sign due to injury or being underage then you've got to have someone sign for you. Only exceptions are life saving treatments. If your smashed in a car accident they arn't going to wait for a signature to save you but thats about it. Umm can I guess where you live? If it wasn't against my religion to gamble I would bet money that you live on either the east coast or the west coast.

That would be why. Europe (And I've been to France and Spain) is way way to liberal for me. I mean I know this isn't indicative of the norm but we did pass a park where two men where having gay sex in public and the police didn't even arrest them. (They just kind of shooed them away) Sometimes American laws can be too restrictive, for example I just think its stupid that we havn't legalized prostitution. (I think prostitution is immoral but when its legalized and regulated it seems to be less harmful to the population in general then when its illegal). And there are good arguments for legalizing Marijuanna. But in Europe the laws are way too open if you ask me. And as you can tell I'd prefer to err on the side of being too restrictive up to a point. (I wouldn't want to feel like basic freedoms where threatened.)

I don't know if you where ever like this as a teen but lots of teens hide stuff from their parents, its kind of part of a rebellion phase, and when you have people enabling that then you are taking away a parents right to deal with their children as they wish and teach their own morals to them. Cause society certainly isn't going to teach them.

I know you won't like this, but this is part of a site from planned parenthood in Indiana. The question was, we are under 18, can you help us get on birth control.

Yes. Planned Parenthood of Indiana provides many services, including birth control of many different kinds. Planned Parenthood believes that everyone has the right to reproductive health care and we provide services to people who need them. If you are aged 14 and over, all of our services, except abortion, are available without the consent of a parent and they are confidential, which means we don t talk about you or your medical records to other people. If you are 13 or younger we can provide most services. However, our staff is required by law to notify Child Protection Services if someone is aged 13 or younger and sexually active. It is very often hard to make informed decisions about sexuality in our early teenage, pre-teen and childhood years. You can talk to us about this, or find out more, by calling 800-230-PLAN to speak to a Planned Parenthood of Indiana staff person. Planned Parenthood encourages teens to talk to their parents or other trusted adults about their decisions and thoughts about sexuality. We also encourage families to communicate about sexuality and sexual safety. Whenever possible, it can be helpful to involve parents in important decisions, like getting advice about birth control. And often teens want to include their parents in discussions about their sex lives and the steps they have taken to avoid an unplanned pregnancy and exposure to sexually transmitted infections. We recognize, however, that this isn't always possible. That's why Planned Parenthood is committed to providing services that are confidential and affordable, especially for teens, who may face special family and financial circumstances.

And in Indiana they can have their asses sued off. And with the conservative supreme court, I will win. I might not get any money out of it but it would be declared unconstitutional. Because it just is. And besides that, after the girl tried it once she wouldn't be leaving the house without supervision til she moved out. It will be made very clear that with sex there are no second chances, not in life and not in my house.

http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title16/ar36/ch1.html Speaks to this saying that a minor can't consent to their own health care unless they are married, emancipated or in the military. IC 16-36-1-3 Would this not fall under healthcare? Looking up more law to support my position. I'm thinking about that but the problem is that I don't have a daughter right now so there isn't a lot I could do. But if that theoretical situation did happen I would make so much noise that you'd have a quarter of a million hoosiers demonstrating at the state house.

Considering that in some states a parent can DENY their child life-saving medical treatments due to religious reasons (I don't support that btw) I would think that I could deny my daughter birth control pills eh? Planned Unparenthood is probably operating on the lines of the law hoping they can get a big court case to find things in their favor so they can go into middle schools hand out condomns and birth control and tell the kids to screw eachother's brains out. (I have a very low respect for planned unparenthood because as far as I can see between trying to get abortions for minors and birth control for minors all they are doing is trying to take away parental rights.)

I understand your feelings, but I would hope that if one is insistant on having premarital sex (stupid), that they would at least be smart enough to not get pregnant, or use a condom to try to avoid some sexually transmitted diseases. I told my girls, I do not, nor will I ever condone sex before marriage, but I am your parent first, and your friend second, so if you are going to be ballsy enough to defy what I wish for you, please be smart enough to not make matters worse by getting pregnant, or dying of aids! I am just a very realistic parent that will not close her eyes, and say because it is my wishes, and they live in my house, they will not do this. What would you do, if they did have sex (do you have any kids?) would you kick them out on the street? Would you ground them and take away thier pills? (which could lead to pregnancy, I think,if they had had sex right before you took them). What would you do, if your wishes for them, was not enough?

I wouldn't kick them out of course if they where under 18. Over 18 I'd consider it but I'd have to cross that road when I got to it. I would let them take the pills for a little longer to help prevent the conception but after that then the pills would go bye bye along with their social life. I don't have kids yet, but plan on them after marriage of course. Its a tough line to draw and I intend on taking a rather heavy handed approach to dealing with this so that they know how serious I am about it. But on the other hand I have to forgive. So perhaps the question of kicking them out would depend on their attitude. Where they repentant or defiant? And perhaps it just has a little to do with me. A lot of times one could easily accuse me of having the attitude of "If I can do it, everyone should be able to do it."

OK, since the pill is not 100%, and tube tying has RARELY come undone. There CAN be problems with condoms, but I DOUBT it if she is "on the pill for 6 months" ALSO -- what do you think is a "guarantee" then, abstinence? Is that the reply you would have me give?

Getting tubes tied (female) actually has a lower efficacy rate(.5%) than the mirena IUD(.2%), vasectomy(.15%), a couple implants(.05%) and an injectable (.2%).

A girl I went to school with and her brother were born after her mother had her tubes tied (and they "fixed" the issue after the girl was born, before the boy was).

A friend of my husbands and his wife got pregnant, despite her having her tubes tied and him having a vasectomy. He was about to retire at the time, and sending his then youngest child to college. Imagine their surprise.

There are two 100% forms of birth control: Abstinence and hysterectomy(admittedly not a form of birth control, but it is a side effect...).

Oh, and condoms have a 15% failure rate.
