Question
Hi. Please help me. I'm been worried these last two weeks. I'm on luthera birthcontrol and I take it every day. My problem is I don't take it everyday at the same time. Though I've been on it for almost 5 months now. I figured my body should be used to it by now but am I going to end up pregnant?

Answer
Dear Amanda,

You can get pregnant even taking birth control exactly correctly. There is no birth control method that is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. So if you really don't want to be pregnant, the only thing I can suggest is to practice abstinence. Is this a possibility for you?
Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
