Ok.. I'm not feaking out just yet. Last night was the first time I had unprotected sex since I've been on the pill (been on it for about 6 months now). I haven't missed a day or taken any pills later than usual, so I would say that I'm using them correctly. I'm on Diane-35, by the way, for my PCOS condition. My worry is partly because the drug isn't specifically for use as an oral contraceptive, even though it does the job, and I'm concerned about the effectiveness. I'm wondering if I should take ECP just in case, even though he did not ejaculate inside me, but I don't know if it's safe to take them while I'm still on birth control... or if it even makes sense to do so.
Thanks in advance.
