My boyfriend and I are very active, and although while I'm sick of course I don't feel up to it, I know that sperm can live quite a while in there.....What do I do?

We'll see in a few weeks, when I'm due for my period. I've been feeling sick on-and-off for the past several days- I think it's mostly stress, though. Not ready for a baby yet!

You should use condoms until you're finished with this pill pack and start the next. BTW, antibiotics can mess with the pill, too.

I feel pregnant 7 months ago because I was ill and it messed my period up. Me and my partner used condoms for a week after I started taking the pill again properly. It wasn't long enough!
I would use condoms until you are doubly sure that you are protected again. Better to be safe then sorry. And believe me when I say you should use them for longer than a week :D
