hi

not sure if this should be in sex or health but what the hell

was just wondering how the pill is 98-99 % effective when used carfully and then 80-85% effective when used less cerfully. i thaught you were either protected or not. what does being less carefull consist of? forgetting to take it? taking it late? well in either of these cases surely someone n the progesterone only pill would be unprotected?

sorry just somnthing i was wondering about

thanx

    Would be like forgetting to take it or taking it too late would mean that i wouldn't be effective.

    i knowwhat your saying, i guess i didnt explain myself very well. i thaught that you took it right and on time, didnt throw up, didnt get the shits and you were protected.
    didnt take it, took it late, threw up, had the shits and it didnt work.

    what i was tryin to say if it either works or duznt work how can it still be 80 - 85% effecitve? what would consist of being less cerful so that it still works just not aseffectivley

    or maybe im just reading to much into a pill packet lol
