I read somewhere that they reduce the effectiveness of the pill - is that true?
It’s true. Generally, in these situations, your gynecologist will recommend double protection. Continue taking the pill but also use condoms for the duration of the antibiotic therapy. Remember that the condom is the only method that also protects you from sexually transmitted infections. This is especially important if you have relations with casual partners or multiple partners – don’t risk it!
Can you notice it when you wear a short-sleeved shirt? I wouldn't want people looking at me!
I discussed it with my gynecologist to better understand why this can happen.
At first I was worried, I thought maybe it wasn't the right method for me.
Right now I like the idea that it lasts three years, but what if I decide I want to have a child....
