We talked, and felt we were ready to have sex without a condom. I didn't want to without making sure we were clear of STDs. We got tested, and we are. So, there's no worries about that. I asked a question at the beginning of this about diarrhea on birth control. I'm back on that. I've noticed that more often than not, my stools regardless of what I have ate, are soft. Would this affect the absorption of my pills? Also, say I had a loose, watery stool BEFORE I took my pill during the day, would that affect it? And I know we've been over this, but even if I had a watery stool, it would have to happen a second or a third time in a day to be considered diarrhea, right? Right now, I'm comfortable with the level of protection that I get from the combined methods of birth control that we use (withdrawal and the pill) because I read on an article that even in typical use, those methods combined are still around 97.84% effective. But, I'm not so comfortable when I don't know that my pills are being absorbed properly. If this keeps up, I think I'm going to have a talk with the doctor, and see what other kinds of methods (patch or shot) I could look into that wouldn't leave me guessing so much. As always, thanks for helping me out so much when I have these questions :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
