Are you heifers pregnant??? ONTD pregnant pact!!!

About 1 million packets of birth control pills are being recalled in the U.S. by Pfizer because a packaging mishap could increase the likelihood of pregnancy.

The affected pills include 14 lots of Lo/Ovral-28 tablets and 14 lots of generic Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol tablets. All the pills were marketed by Akrimax Rx Products and have expiration dates ranging from July 31, 2013, to March 31, 2014. They were distributed to warehouses, clinics and pharmacies throughout the U.S.

Birth control pills typically contain 21 days of hormone-laden, or active, tablets and 7 days of placebo pills. But some of the recalled packets have too many active tablets while others don’t have enough, and some of the pills may be out of sequence.


The problem, which has since been corrected, seems to have been caused by inspection failures. “As a result of this packaging error, the daily regimen for these oral contraceptives may be incorrect and could leave women without adequate contraception, and at risk for unintended pregnancy,” Pfizer said in a statement released Tuesday. “…Consumers exposed to affected packaging should begin using a non-hormonal form of contraception immediately.”

This is the second major contraceptive recall in less than six months. In September, Qualitest Pharmaceuticals recalled 1.4 million packages of birth control pills because of a different packaging error.

Women who have the recalled Pfizer tablets should contact their doctors and return the medication.

Lot numbers of affected packs of Lo/Ovral-28 (norgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) Tablets and Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets (generic) are reprinted here:

tampons>>>>>
tigermilk 1st-Feb-2012 09:14 pm (UTC)
I have a DivaCup and I would never go back to tampons. Tampons give me weirdly vicious cramps. With my DivaCup, it doesn't feel like my uterus is trying to crawl out. Which is nice.
ericasays 1st-Feb-2012 09:16 pm (UTC)
i feel like no matter what size i use of tampons, it feels like i'm ripping my insides out. they make my vagina too dry and irritated.

EXTERMINATE PERIODS.

That is all.

scarletfbl TMI, Like Whoa... 1st-Feb-2012 10:51 pm (UTC)
I love my mooncup (I've shelved my DivaCup because, apparently, I have a shallow vagina, or some shit), but it gives me really bad cramps in my ASS. Like, having a bm is terrible, sometimes. I've used tampons my last 2 periods, and the bowel cramping is going away. Guess I'm doomed to go back and forth between tampons and the cup.
howdroll 2nd-Feb-2012 02:16 am (UTC)
I read that as weirdly vivacious cramps and was somewhat jelly.
danibel 1st-Feb-2012 09:14 pm (UTC)
idk i love my diva cup

I have never heard of that in my life sounds messy tbqh

I'm sick of them too. I'm terrified of TSS tbh.
dubiously 1st-Feb-2012 09:18 pm (UTC)
I don't like them. You have to squeeze the cup with your fingers to kinda close it up when you insert it and the material they are made of is pretty hard stuff. If it snaps back open before you get it inserted deep enough it can hurt like a mofo. Vag pain is not on my to do list
sozzney 1st-Feb-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
My vagina has been a happy place since I got my diva cup.

xvisqueux 1st-Feb-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
Just looked it up and holyy shit. It looks painful and large although I'm sure it gets the job done and it is environmentally friendly...

The last picture is a gross idea that never crossed my mind.

I love my DivaCup. Tampons were like lighting lit cotton in my vag every fucking month.
blenderhead 1st-Feb-2012 09:27 pm (UTC)
I haven't used a single tampon in five years, thanks to mine.
ludagurl3d 1st-Feb-2012 09:37 pm (UTC)
im getting sick of them too. i mean obviously tampons > pads, but im ready for an upgrade.
misspinkkate 1st-Feb-2012 09:43 pm (UTC)
I loooooove mine! It took a few months to get used to it- the instructions say to wear it low, but for me to I had to push it back further to get it to seal. Once I figured that out, it was pretty much smooth sailing.
celtic_thistle 1st-Feb-2012 09:47 pm (UTC)
I love mine but I need a new one, I've had it so long.
phatpiggye 1st-Feb-2012 10:44 pm (UTC)
omg! thank you ladies of ONTD!

i just look up the diva cup and totally think i might make the switch. but i'm kind of hesitant and scared. is diva cup the best one? or do you guys use other menstrual cups out there? i don't know which one to buy... is the insertion and removal really bad and really gross?

i just want my heavy flow and wide set vagina to be happy too!

adlanth 1st-Feb-2012 11:40 pm (UTC)
I really wanted to like the cup but it just leaked (and not because it was full). And it wasn't that easy to insert/remove in the beginning, though it got better.
Maybe I'll try again with another brand some day.
wristtattoos 2nd-Feb-2012 01:16 am (UTC)
i use instead cups when i dont feel like dealing with my period. not bad, but it was a godforsaken blood bath the first time i took it.
endingonfire 2nd-Feb-2012 01:49 am (UTC)
My diva cup is amazing. I highly recommend it.
vidaloca9 2nd-Feb-2012 02:01 am (UTC)
use a sea sponge.
im not joking
mustlovemetal 2nd-Feb-2012 02:52 am (UTC)
I use the SoftCups because you can wear them during sex. They look really big but the plastic part is actually pretty flexible. You squeeze it together so it's about the length of a tampon and just slide it on in.

DivaCup forever!
stellar_kar 2nd-Feb-2012 08:23 am (UTC)
I know you've prolly got like a million responses but I love the diva cup. and it CAN hurt if you do it wrong but take your time the first few times and it's not bad, only when you rush it lol

Were they made in China, too? Check your lead levels while you're at it.

Ugh I just spent $125 for my pills yesterday. Looks like I'm in the clear tho

I was pissed when I had to spend 22$ on it. Fuck.
falloutbi 1st-Feb-2012 09:17 pm (UTC)
Holy shit do you take Seasonique? That's the only reason why I can think of it being over $25
skeletwin 1st-Feb-2012 09:18 pm (UTC)
here i'll just potentially make you feel worse. i thought mine was expensive at $10 :(
champagnexdream 1st-Feb-2012 09:22 pm (UTC)
WTF is that for one month? My shit is $10 a month gurl.
eye_browz 1st-Feb-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
GIRL go to walmart and get the generic bc, mine is $9/month WITHOUT INSURANCE. It's called Sprintec and Tri-Sprintec
glambbydoll 1st-Feb-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)

helllll no
nothingisnow 1st-Feb-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
I find it really disturbing that you would actually have to pay for them at all.

Fuck that's a shitload of money for something that should be free
bb_kb 1st-Feb-2012 10:03 pm (UTC)
ick, mine are free

Late post is late, but I'm glad you started this thread. I'm on Seasonique too and have been looking for info on it since this recall came out.

Ugh, and I'm so glad I have insurance now, but when I first started getting it I didn't and it was over $200. :(
norway 2nd-Feb-2012 08:10 pm (UTC)
j christ I thought paying 70$ for three months was expensive. Now I pay 9$ a month for it since I switched pharmacies.

CVS hasn't had Lo Ovral in forever. They've been giving me this dumb Chryselle shit. I hate that name. It sounds like crystal meth that they're specifically marketing towards women.

haha I think I have the same thing, is it called cryselle?
