QUICK FACTS ABOUT THE POP:
- You take a pill every day, with no break between packs of pills.
- The progestogen-only pill can be used by women who can't use contraception that contains oestrogen.
- You can take the progestogen-only pill if you're over 35 and you smoke.
- You must take the progestogen-only pill at the same time each day. If you take it more than 3 hours late (traditional progestogen-only pill) - or 12 hours late (desogestrel pill) - it may not be effective.
- If you're sick (vomit) or have severe diarrhoea, the progestogen-only pill may not work.
- Some medicines may affect the progestogen-only pill's effectiveness - ask your pharmacist or doctor for details.
- Your periods may stop or become lighter, irregular or more frequent.
- You'll need to use condoms as well as the progestogen-only pill to be protected against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
SICKNESS AND DIARRHOEA EFFECTS ON POPs:
If you vomit within two hours of taking the POP or If you have very severe diarrhoea that continues for more than 24 hours. The POP won’t have been absorbed by your body. To find out what to do please visit the following links:
www.nhs.uk/con...
www.fpa.org.uk...
Speak to a pharmacist, nurse or GP, or call NHS 111 or the national sexual health helpline free on 0300 123 7123, if you're unsure whether you're protected against pregnancy, or if your sickness or diarrhoea continues.
MEDICINE INTERACTIONS WITH THE POP:
When you take 2 or more medicines at the same time, they can sometimes interact with each other.Some medicines interact with the progestogen-only pill, which can stop it working properly.
If you want to check whether your medicines are safe to take with the progestogen-only pill, you can:
- Ask your pharmacist, practice nurse or GP
- Read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS:
Most methods of contraception don’t protect you from sexually transmitted infections. Condoms (male/external or female/internal), when used correctly and consistently, can help protect against sexually transmitted infections. If you can, avoid using spermicidally lubricated condoms. The spermicide commonly contains a chemical which may increase the risk of HIV infection.

I’ve been on the mini pill for three months & im ready to be a Twinkie
verries LMAOOO MEEE
How has that been did you bleed constantly in the beginning. I’m starting it Sunday and my doc acts like a retard I’m switching from the combo to the mini because the combo causes severe migraines and I’m not prone to them, but I was on depo 5 years which is progesterone only and I have been loving have my 3 weeks and 1 week cycle I hope it doesn’t make me bleed forever 🙄🤦🏼♀️
GIRL I-
Is this some sort of innuendo?
IM FUCKING SCREAMING THATS A QUOTE
Fantastic. I just had to teach contraceptives pharmacology to my students and i will be using this video as a teaching aid to better help my students understand oral contraceptives. Thanks Abraham for making such informative videos.
Contraceptives can definitely be a tricky subject, hope my vide helps your students :)
Just started bc for the first time and I just wanted to say this info was very useful, especially what to do if you miss/forget a pill. thank you for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Packed full of important information which will be very useful to people who are unsure! Jo did a great job and she definitely deserves commission😂
Thanks for commenting, glad you liked it - I agree she was amazing! :)
I’ve been on birth control for about 6 years now, originally went on it for my cramps and my serve acne but as I got older i used it for occasional contraceptive. Since then I’ve never had a proper period as my cramps are absolute agony! My specific birth control brand increases blood clots more than other brands (it’s banned in America) but I’ve had no signs of blood clots at all since being on it. But I don’t have any family history of blood clots, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink hardly ever and I’m at a healthy weight for my bmi. I’ve also read that blood clots can increase if you travel for long periods of time. But I’ve been to Europe 4 times in a row on birth control and haven’t had any signs of blood clots! Hope this helps everyone who are worried about bloody clots! Make sure your doctor is asking you !!!
Thank you so much, I started my birth control in November last year become horrific cramps and with my pills there is a high risk of blood clots so I'm scared to fly this summer. I'm flying to Seoul and that takes 11hrs so I am scared that I will get a blood clot during the flight.
Minty Ocha you won’t trust me I’ve been to New York 24 hours all up there and back from Australia. Just move your legs around do a few walks around the cabin stand up for a while go to the bathroom just don’t sit down the whole time cuz your blood isn’t flowing enough. I did a lot of walking around in both countries which helps the blood flow a lot
You living life ON EDGE!!!

Are you in Argentina? I am around South America now on my workd tour, getting paid to travel the world, message me and we'll take care of it together Señorita Mikhail.
I really don’t care about the pregnancy part! I’m not sexually active (still a virgin so I’m not too bothered about that) My doctor prescribed me the pill because I suffer from dysmenorrhea. Horrendous period pains & painful hormonal spots. I really hope this helps and makes my periods less painful and lighter.
Maybe you have fibroids, you should get checked as menstruation is not supposed to be painful
Same here
I suffer from that too
I just came across your videos and I love them. I love how informative they are and your suggestions are also practical. I shall start following your tips and advice right away. Thank you so much! Also subscribed. 😁😁😁

@@AbrahamThePharmacist hi m moominah I dd hv intrcorse 2dys aftr periods n ejct out bt stl is it safe n cn I strt cntracptv pils hw n when pzz
I've started the mini pill after being on the combined pill and was told to take it straight away. 4 days into the mini pill I've started bleeding similar to a period, is this normal and how long should this last?
Very useful for future relationships 😉
Thanks for commenting, glad I could help :)
Just a little comment. The question on how quick the POP works before one can have sex had only half the correct answer. If you are using desogestrel (non-traditional POP) then you are correct it is effective straight away if taken within the first 5 days of a normal menstrual cycle; however if you are taking a non-desogestrel (traditional) POP then you must allow 7 days for it to become effective and it only has a 3 hour window period for a “missed pill”.
I'm still unsure regarding the biology behind this: if a birth control pill stops ovulation, is the withdrawal bleeding period an ACTUAL period? Does that mean that the same PMS symptoms still apply? Is the blood from the shedding of the uterine lining? Are you still getting a period just not ovulating before it?
So many questions sorry but I'm very confused!
Commission for jo! She was brilliant. Abraham.. yours always brilliant though!
Thanks for commenting, I agree she was amazing :)
Great video abraham. Very informative as always!
Thanks for commenting, glad I could help :)
Can you do a day in the life of a pharmacist!! Pleeaaaeseee
Sure thing, added to the future video list
So I’m about to start my cycle some time this week and I’m getting my birth control tomorrow so do I just wait until the first day of my period to start my birth control ?
Stephanie Carrier it would probably be a good idea to start it on your period if you’re planning on having sex soon after your period because you’re instantly protected. but you can really start it whenever you want
What happens when the pill was taken in the wrong order?
No pull out method,then I’m taking my pills everyday,do I get pregnant of that without pull out method? Thank you

Amazing video 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for commenting, glad I could help :)
I've been prescribed the Cerazette POPs for controlling fibroid symptoms (excesssive bleeding/clotting) but the bleeding still happens. I'm starting to wonder if taking two pills a day will make a change. What happens if you take two pops per day?
Hi I have a question, if I miss my pill by 1 hour am I still protect it of I drink it 1 hour later?
For the most part you are safe. The general rule of thumb is 4-6 hours of when you're supposed to take your pill. But, I would not engage in unprotected intercourse that night (if it was me). Just make sure you're regular for the rest of the takings and it shouldnt be that bad if you only missed it by an hour.
Ellie_wgnr I missed mine by two hours, from what you’ve said it seems like I’m still okay taking it so I have. But does that mean that I need to take my pill two hours later from now on?
Make about the OTHER PILL too please i have the other one D:
I m trying to conceive for 1 and half year. My gynac gives me a Diane 35 pills. But it is a birth control pills. What's the reason behind it?
My periods last for 8 to 9 days if i start taking pills on the 5th day of my period. Will it effect my period duration or period will be the same as before
I'm more confused
BEE me too
Me to I really need help
when do we take birth. control pill morning or afternoon or night ????I need to know????????????????
Thanks for commenting, all the information about the mini pill (progesterone only pill) begins at 0.58 in terms of when to start taking it morning, afternoon or night you can pick whichever time suits you best Jo answers this at 2.25 .

@@AbrahamThePharmacist thank-you soo much for ur answer I do appreciate it alot 😊
does the mini pill often cause depression and acne?
I had periods so bad that I couldn't handle the pain. I'd faint, throw up, and no matter what pain killers I took I was in a massive amount of pain. My doctor gave me a combination pill, but told me since my periods were so painful he recommended I dont have a period at all. A month after being on the pill, I have a "breakthrough" bleed that lasted almost a whole month, but no pain. Has this happened to anyone else?
I had my period and it ended today.... do I start my brand new birth control now ? Or start it on Sunday?
Nickibeebs start it on sunday
Kiah Wright thanks !

Black Pink no not really . i’m 15 i take it x
@@emilymedcalf7833 FBI open up😂 where are you Miss Medcalf
Ok I had to take my pill at 6 book took it 9 min late is that bad
I am 46 and have been prescribed the progesterone only pill for excessively heavy bleeding. Will this pill make my hair fall out? I’ve read the info pamphlet but it doesn’t really answer the question.
What if I'm now bleeding on the pill everyday when it's not my period?
If it's little bleeding than it's called spotting. You're body is ajusting to the hormones in the pill. Totally normal. Take the pill and after the last one stop 5 days, you should have you're period. On the 6th day begin with a new strip even if you're bleeding. Normally you're body will ajust in 3 months. Otherwise go to you're obgyn. Maybe you need a heavier pill. Good luck!
But I'm pretty sure you're never supposed to skip a day of the POP pills if you want continuous protection, taking them through your period, as well, so if you do this and skip 5 days, just know you're not protected
Will they work the next day if you take them will it stop them
Is there a link between contraceptive pills and breast cancer?
My aunt (from my father’s side) lost her battle to breast cancer and my mom was diagnosed with DCIS last year. I had myself checked by two OBs and was given a yes and no regarding this. Thanks in advance. 😊
April thanks for commenting this is a wonderful question for responding to your comments series. Looks like you're become a regular on there but it's a very pharm question so I will give you as much information as I can :)
Lol. I do have a lot of questions. 😅 I’ve started watching your old uploads too. The diet pills video helped tremendously. I’ve been to a couple of doctors and urologists, done several scans and only your vid gave me the answer as too why I’ve had moderate to high amounts of bleeding appear in my urine tests. 🤯 Your channel is so awesome. #grateful

i took plan b after an incident and I took it within the next hour, my period came a week later (when it was supposed to come), and so i figured it would not affect my cycle since my my period was on time. However, it is now the next month and I am awaiting my period it is 5 days late, i have used protection and believe there is a small chance I am pregnant, and a test I took came out negative, bu it may still be too early. Can plan B impact your second period after taking it?
I believe it does, I'm not a professional though.
My second period was 11 days late after using plan B
