Question
okay well do u have to take your non-active pills exactly the third week of the month... can you take it like the second week of the month and then take your active pills the third week instead... if you can do that is there more of a chance you will get pregnet?? well please get back to me soon... that would be great thank you! ~Amber~
You have to take the pills just the way they are prescribed. one week after the other in order. The non-active pills have no hormones (or different hormones from the active ones) and bring on the "false period" - if you take them out of order you could get pregnant and you will cause great confusion to your body and your cycles will be messed up and you will not know what's going on. If you've already done this, then you need to use back-up protection until you get back on track.

Expertise
Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.
Experience
I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
