  • Birth Control Pills

    I just started taking birth control pills today, and am worried about the sugar pills. Are they really made of sugar? Will this screw up my way of eating every month? Will I get cravings from them? I feel like an idiot, lol, for asking these questions.

    If you can remember when to start your new pack of pills after the last active pill, just go a week without it. Since they are just a placebo, you don't have to take them.

      Maybe I will simulate taking the placebo pills. I will take them out of the package at the same time everyday like normal, but instead of taking them, I will throw them away.

        That's a good idea. The sugar ones are just to keep you in the habit - you don't have to actually swallow them.

          I've always just skipped them. Seemed silly to take something that wasn't doing anything - even before Atkins.

            They are completely unnecessary to take, but if your one to forget taking your pills, just pop em out every night and chuck em

              Well, yesterday was day 3 of taking the pills and I'm doing great so far! I have my cell phone alarm set for 6:55pm every day so it goes off and reminds me to take the pill. I think I'll just throw them away each day so I can stay on a routine. Thanks for the advice everyone!
