I use orthotricyclin. My doctor told me that the green pills ( the pills taken during the week of my menstrual cycle) were sugar pills so I don't use them. This past cycle I solely had my period for sooner or later. This is alarming as I am sexually active. What does this mean? I be active during the week of my cycle. I'm concerned that the pills dont work as a preventative during your period and I've hear you can get pregnant during your period? If anyone can shine a touch light on the facts in the situation I'd appreciate it.

Answers:    FIRST, pills are suppressing hormones and it could be pretty short term but it is not a good symptom for future use of this brand of pills (for you!). Every body react very specifically.
SECOND, it is not possible to become pregnant during menstruation for several reason.
THIRD, in general the best modern contraception is dual contraception. Read more below.
