Does heat affect birth control?
So I've been taking birth control for about a little less than two months and I've always used condoms with it. About seven days ago my boyfriend ran out of condoms and we were both already riled up. So we did it and he came in me. I didn't worry because of the birth control. Thing is I was just reminded that heat and humidity affects medicine. I live in miami and it's summer. I take my pill in the evening and bring it in my purse often when i go out on dates or with my friends because i don't want to miss the time i take it. When i say miami is hot, it's HOT. Should I be worried?

Unless its exposed to really extreme for prolonged periods of time, it should be just fine. By the way, you don't need to use condoms if you're on the pill. The pill alone is around 99% effective in preventing pregnancy as it works by stopping ovulation so there's not even an egg to fertilize.

Your pills info pack will have the ideal temperature storage for them. Keep it in that temperature range.
Talk to a pharmacist about how this might affect them.

I used to live in Vero, so I know what you mean. But it should be okay.
