    Nice to know! However pregnancy can occur on any form of birth control pill or other contraception device. Not sure how the extra sugar pills passed through their quality control though.

    I heard about this and I bet you there's going to be a LOT of pregnancies in the next few months!

    I was taking Trinessa back 5-6 years ago. I had just gotten back from my honeymoon and called to refill my prescription. The pharmacist said, "I'm sorry, I can't fill this for you. These have been recalled" WHAT?! I asked what for and he said, "Lack of hormone".

    I looked up the pack I had been taking wedding/honeymoon month and it matched the lot numbers listed online that were being recalled.

    I'm now Mommy to a 5 yr old boy. I wouldn't trade him for the world...but um...yeah. Surprise! :)

    Phew! I thought you were going to ask if they should be counted as calories. I had my face palm image all ready to go!

    That would have made for an epic thread.

    "So if I only take half I should still be under goal right?"
