I have to say in theory, it works well. Some women cycle are so accurate that it works for them. For others, its a lottery. The best and most accurate way to pinpoint ovulation is by either temperature monitoring or buying a kit in pharmacy that detect certain hormones changes inside the vagina.
So dont go missing if your GF suddenly misses her period and came here to create a new thread 'abortion'.

There are so many BC pills on the market and dare you say not even one of the women had their fertility affected? Though I have to say its a really low percentage of them. I think the best BC pills is Yasmin. It came in 30tablet and take it according to the precription which is 1tablet/day.
If you aint married, ask your BF to wear condom better. Not only its contraception, it also help with STD prevention.
First of all, I seriously can't imagine the amount of misconception and myths about the pill and the most effective contraceptive methods stated here... I'm horrified!
Ejaculating during the "safe period" does not work! no NO!! Sperms can survive for about max 3-5 days (not sure). So if you ovulate on day 14, and have sex on day 9 thinking you're in the "safe zone", Baaammm! You'll be having sleepless nights for the next 1 year....and 9 mths! (LOL). Thta's because the sperm can survive up to when ovulation occurs and then...fertilisation takes place, and the rest is history.
The pill is the most effective method. Try Yaz instead (Yasmin's sister:)). A couple of my friends are on it. It's the only OC (oral contraception) in Malaysia indicated for the treatment of mild/moderate acne AND treatment of PMDD (a more severe form of PMS). It's also the only birth control pill that has proven properties of preventing fluid retention (hence no weight gain) and antiandrogenic properties (positive benefits on the skin). Please do check out the
the new 24/4 pill. Instead of taking the usual 21 days, then stop 7 days. a 24 days, then stop 4 days is much better; as it promotes compliance and less hormone fluctuations (no mood swings...etc).
If I have a girlfriend, I'd definitely want the best for her. The Pill has advanced much over the past 5 decades. The
non-contraceptive benefitsare well proven and known.
