I tried to take pills continuously the last time I went on them.....I would like to qualify this by saying I have never done real well with the Pill, but when I was really young I could take them with no problem other than slightly elevated blood pressure. Anyway this last time (which was about a year ago) I just skipped the placebos and kept on going with the actives.....it worked great...at first. I was period-free for about 6 weeks. But then I began to bleed and it didn't stop for over a month. Finally I gave up on it. I stopped bleeding about a week after I quit, and then it didn't take long for my normal cycle to kick back in.
My husband and I have used the old shotgun method ever since our younger child was born almost 6 years ago. I was on the pill briefly when he was about 2 and got pregnant on it (I miscarried.) Then I tried the pill again last year. The old shotgun method has worked fine for us, but then again we are 30 somethings with 2 kids for whom pregnancy is not desired but also would not be a disaster. So it's all very individual. I think I am going to have him neutered this year and not have to worry about it!!!!!!!!!!!
