Today, my 18-year-old boyfriend freaked out and kept asking me if I was sure I wouldn't get pregnant, because I forgot to take my birth control pill last night. We didn't actually have sex; he apparently thought me simply missing the pill would magically get me pregnant. The hell? FML

If you had sex this week it's possible. Sperm lives in the body for a lot longer than you'd expect.

Double Dutch to be sure, use condoms and the pill, just to be safe. Better to be safe than sorry.

As a Dutch person, I have to ask, why is it called Double Dutch? (it's an honest question)

Double Dutch is a style of jump rope where you use two ropes...never heard it used in reference to birth control before...

I read somewhere (a sex education book actually) that it's because people in Holland apparently use both condoms and birth control (Double Dutch) and teenage pregnancy is very low in Holland because of it. Not sure how true that is though. Although, I was in Amsterdam 3 weeks ago and compared to Dublin, I didn't see any pregnant women or many children around at all (it was a weekend when I was visiting too, so they weren't in school). It was unusual to see, because so many young women in Ireland have children, it's quite common now. If the book I read was true, Ireland and everywhere else should follow Holland's example.

If you have trouble remembering to take the pill I recommend trying the Nuva ring

OPT could also use a birth control implant/stent.

That was my issue, could never remember to take my pill, switched to Nuva Ring. Caused such debilitating back pain, I couldn't move for four days without being in agony. Finally figured out what caused the pain, took it out, within hours the pain went away. Never again.

There are also hormonal and non-hormonal IUDs. Both have been proven safe for use in woman who haven't had children.

Well YOU didn't have sex with him. Your boy has got so many girls he's forgetting who he is getting with and when. There are so many FMLs about wrong names, wrong clothes and wrong birthdays/anniversaries for me to believe this a valid theory.

I take it, that he is easy on the eyes? You can't be with him for the deep meaningful conversations m, can you?

Copied from NHS Choices... "What if I've missed one pill? If you've missed one pill anywhere in the pack or started a new pack one day late, you're still protected against pregnancy. You should: • take the last pill you missed now, even if this means taking two pills in one day • carry on taking the rest of the pack as normal • take your seven-day pill-free break as normal or, if you're on an Every Day (ED) pill, take your inactive (dummy) pills You don't need to use extra contraception."

Well, you should really be more careful about taking your pills. You should also get up early tomorrow, fake morning sickness and stuff a pillow under your shirt.
