Yes, when you take any medication 6 months past its expiration date the effects are not strong or some just stop working at all. They are no good. Go to a free clinic and get some good onesWhat are the risks of taking expired birth control pills? They are 2 years expired,been taking them one month.
yes you can get pregnant. they aren't going to be as strong as they should be. Go get another pack of pills!
I would contact your doctor/pharmacist and get another pack. There's a reason why there's an expiration date on them.

Are there any risks of taking the shot of birth-control?

If so, what are they? And is it REALLY effective?Are there any risks of taking the shot of birth-control?
It's one of the most effective forms (less than 1% failure rate if the shots are all administered on time), but it causes bone density loss. It can also cause weight gain, mood changes, lower libido, and irregular bleeding. Because of the bone density side effect, it's not supposed to be used for more than two years unless other forms of birth control are inadequate.





Another very effective form of reversible birth control is the IUD. After you get it inserted, and all you have to remember is to check once a month to make sure it's still there. See the Planned Parenthood website for a list of other options.Are there any risks of taking the shot of birth-control?
MANY MANY risks.

And, depo provera is ONLY 99% effective. Women have AND DO get pregnant while on the shot, even when taken as directed.





I was on it for several horrible years. PLEASE choose another method.

Methods of birth control that doesn't include the risk of blood clotting?

My boyfriend and I recently started having sex and I was a virgin so I had never been exposed to condoms or other types of birth control. Whenever we have sex and use a condom, it always dries me up and we have to stop after like 5 minutes. I know pulling out isn't a safe method but it's what we have had to do to get anything done. I would go on the pill but I have a history of blood clotting and the pill, patch, and ring all run the risk of blood clotting. I looked up spermicidal lube but it doesn't seem very effective so I'm not sure where to go from here...are there any other methods I'm missing?Methods of birth control that doesn't include the risk of blood clotting?
If you're not worried about STDs, there are other barrier methods (e.g. diaphragm or cervical cap). You can also use an IUD.





Best of luck!Methods of birth control that doesn't include the risk of blood clotting?
I'm not being a smart alec, but I strongly recommend abstaining until marriage. God designed sex to be enjoyed within marriage.
you can have your tubes tied or he can get a vasectomy..other than that, you've pretty much exhausted all the BC methods.
Progesterone ONLY birth control pills are available. These can still cause breast tenderness, weight gain, nausea, etc. However, blood clots are not a common side-effect of progesterone-only pills. Progesterone-only pills are about 94% effective in preventing pregnancy (compared to about 97% efficacy of progesterone/estrogen combo pills). And to put that in perspective, condoms are about 90% effective. Condoms, however, also protect you from a number of STDs while pills do not.

Forgot my birth control for one day; is my risk of pregnancy greater?

I have been on the pill for over 5 months now and have not forgotten to take it once... until last night, it completely slipped my mind. I normally take my birth control around 11:00 PM... I remembered about ten minutes ago and took the pill from last night, and will be back on track for tonight. However, I want to know, is my risk of pregnancy increased because I took one pill much later than normal? If so, how much?Forgot my birth control for one day; is my risk of pregnancy greater?
Possibly, just use a back method of birth control (a condom) for a while.Forgot my birth control for one day; is my risk of pregnancy greater?
I don't know, just use a condom until you get your next period. I got pregnant after screwing it up twice...but you'd rather be safe than sorry.





FYI, if you're mature enough to have sex then you are mature enough to tell your partner that it's not the time to take a chance and tell him why.

The economy is spiraling out of control, the dollar is losing value, and we're at risk of losing capitalism...?

Isn't it clear what should be done? I know the Libs will attack this but honestly... for the good of the country.The economy is spiraling out of control, the dollar is losing value, and we're at risk of losing capitalism...?
What are you advocating? I've seen your previous posts and you are not only a racist, but I've seen you make comments that suggest you'd do harm to the President.


Here's proof that you are a racist.

Here's more proof. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a> Maybe you'd like to explain your misspelling of President Obama's name. Looks like the second one was deleted. I guess someone else objected to your hatred. Run back to your cave. Coward!The economy is spiraling out of control, the dollar is losing value, and we're at risk of losing capitalism...?
The Libs are in control and don't see this as a problem.


Obama and his czars welcomes the collapse.


But when big businesses were allowed to swallow up smaller ones then we lost real capitalism.


Any mom and pop stores left?


Any city banks that haven't bought out left?


Where are the privately owned gas stations?


No business should be allowed to be to big to fail.
No why didn't you tell us what should be done?





How is it all because of Obama?When the economy was spiraling out of control even before Obama was elected!Remember McCain cancelling his appearance on Letterman to return to Washington to help arrange the bank bailouts?Then was caught still in New York giving Couric an interview when he was supposed to be on Letterman?
I am living just as comfortably as I was before Obama got in office.





Gas is almost back down to two dollars per gallon ($2.14 where I live).





Obama has kept us safe from the terrorists for nine months.





Hell, I just bought a new motorcycle (Yamaha FZS-1000).





Life is good.
We have been throwing republicans out of office just as fast as we can.





And it is working. The economy is starting to pick up.





A few more GOPers out of office, and we might just get back to the booming economy we had before Bush took office.
The dollar, in trade value, is about where it was in August 2008.





Get a grip, or at least consult an exchange index before you open your mouth and embarrass yourself.
OOooooo!! Joe Wilson!


There's another Joe Wilson I've heard of. He's the husband of Valerie Plame. Valerie Plame was a CIA officer whose cover was blown by officials in the Bush Administration!
Yup its very clear what should be done, keep kicking the Pubs out of office since its starting to work well now.
I'm doing fine. What's wrong with you? I have education, employment, money, savings, etc.
There's nothing wrong with the economy. Normal people still go to work every day.
All the news stories I've heard this week are saying the recession bush created is over.
and obambo want it that way to ruin America
What? I support voting the republicans out of office. Why would I attack it?

What risks are involved in installing the Active X control: 'Shockwave Player 11,0 from Adobe Systems?

I believe we need to do this in order to play Wordsense. Or is there another way to get at Wordsense?What risks are involved in installing the Active X control: 'Shockwave Player 11,0 from Adobe Systems?
None.





Mind Doctor, FranceWhat risks are involved in installing the Active X control: 'Shockwave Player 11,0 from Adobe Systems?
Just keep it updated and you will be fine.





In fact ALL of your software should be kept updated to prevent malware from exploiting un-patched vulnerabilities in the software.





I use The Secunia Software Inspector, it scans a computer for un-secure, un-updated and un-patched apps that may be installed on your computer.





The Secunia Software Inspector checks for possibly vulnerable programs like Adobe, Winamp, Java, Windows, Internet Explorer etc. and notifies if critical security updates are needed. Takes about 30 seconds and the results might suprise you!





Use it once a month.





Pretty cool and free at:

None,if you download from the correct website.
