Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Dear Lisbeth, Both my surgeon and my OB/GYN told me NOT to rely on the birth control pill to protect against pregnancy after my BPD/DS. When I asked my OB/GYN about continuing the birth control pill after having surgery, she explained that even very slight fluctuations in the absorption can cause ovulation. The only way to check if I was fully absorbing the pill was to take daily blood levels for a cycle and even that wouldn't be 100% reliable since absorption can vary due to many factors. I am going to call my OB/GYN and ask her about this new patch.
