Chewing a pill can sometimes alter the way a medication is absorbed in the body, potentially reducing its effectiveness. It is generally recommended to swallow pills whole unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.

Does Prometrium affect the birth control pill?

Prometrium will not make the birth control pill less effective, but I can't imagine why you would take a birth control with progestin as well as a progesterone pill. Please make sure all of your prescribers are aware of all of the medication you're taking.

If you take the morning after pill and contiue to take the birth control pill is the birth control still effective for the rest of the month?

If you had missed a pill or been late with a pill, causing you to take the morning after pill, then you should use a back up method of birth control for the next seven days. If you didn't forget a pill or take a pill late, then I'm not sure why you took the morning after pill, but the birth control pill will still be effective even though you took the morning after pill. The morning after pill doesn't make the birth control pill less effective.

AnswerThe pill will work alone after 7 days to prevent you from getting pregnant. AnswerNo form of birth control is 100% effective. The pill is probably the most effective, at 99% or thereabouts. So the chances of pregnancy while using the pill are something less than 1%.

Is the birth control patch more effective than the birth control pill?

With perfect use, the pill and patch are equally effective. Because you only have to remember to do something with the patch weekly, unlike the pill which is daily, it's harder to make mistakes.
