Avatar f tn m on Yaz and i went to Hawaii june 2nd through june 10th and i was supposed to be on my period during that week but i double up on my birth control so i wouldnt have a period during vacation but before that i was sexually active with out protection and i had not taken my birth control at the same time those days. but i guess i was just wondering could you get pregnant during that time? are you fertile if you do that?
Avatar n tn Is there chances of getting pregnant while drinking the placebo week and not being on your period? This is my first month on birth control, and I took all my active pills throughout the month, even during my menstrual cycle. Now I'm at the end of the pack on the placebos, but I'm not on my cycle. We decided to have unprotected sex, but I wanted to make sure what the possibilities cab be.
Avatar m tn my girlfriend wants me to have sex with her unprotected while she is on her period and doesn't want me to pull out, she just started birthcontrol and has been on it for a month, how much of a chance if i don't pull out does she of getting pregnant?
Avatar f tn There's always a small risk of getting pregnant having unprotected sex while on birth control, and even more of a risk if your partner ejaculates inside of you. Putting this small risk aside to answer your question -- you will not get pregnant during the placebo pills if you have been taking your birth control continuously the entire month. There is a chance of pregnancy if you miss any of the white pills. You should take the one you missed with your second pill as soon as possible.
1209036 tn?1299178657 To answer your question, YES it is perfectly safe to go on birth control pills while breastfeeding, HOWEVER, you can not take pills that contain estrogen. There are pills call "mini-pills" or "pops" (progesterone only pills) such as camilla and micronor that are considered safe during breastfeeding. Ask your doctor about it. Some docs will give you a script straight out of the hospital, others will make you wait until you have your 6 week post partum check up.
Avatar f tn I breastfeed for 6 months after my baby was born, I only bleed for about 3 weeks after giving birth.. during that time my husband and I didn't not use any birth control and I never got pregnant. after I stopped breastfeeding my period came regularly and got pregnant when my baby was 8 months.
1533483 tn?1292707597 It is rare to get pregnant while on your period but it is possible because "***" can live inside you for a few days...especially if it was your last day. If it's been less than 2 days I'd recommend Plan B from the drugstore. If it has been more talk to your doctor. Usually you have to wait about 3 weeks to take a pregnancy test.
Avatar f tn There are several reasons why you might experience a missed period while on birth control pill. There are few birth control pills which may stop your menses for a particular period. Pregnancy is also possible cause of missed periods if you have not been taking pills regularly have been affected by diarrhea, vomiting which may affect the absorption and efficacy of pills.
902536 tn?1326914250 Yes it's normal. I gained just over 50 lbs while on it, during the first 18 months on the shot. I spent a total of almost 4 years on depo and it took a long time to loose just 30 of that.
Avatar f tn and i ovulated between the 18th and the 23rd. i have been on birth control for close to 4 years now. i missed a pill on the tuesday of my first week, but took it as soon as i remembered the next day with the pill for that day also. my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex on the 19th, and i used my birth control as an emergency contraceptive. we did so again the next night. i'm worried that i may have gotten pregnant due to the missed pill the week before?
Avatar m tn I'm on birth control and I take it at the same time every day and never miss a pill. During my last pill pack I had sex a few times and didn't use any other form of contraception, at the end of the pack I got my period totally normally (same time, same length, same heaviness).

11195379 tn?1427921527 I honestly did not want to take anything either and husband told me not to take any also but after having my son we want to make sure I don't get pregnant we do want another baby but at least not till another 2-3 years but I know some birth control can cause problems getting pregnant and don't want to risk it.
Avatar f tn I wanted to know what type of birth control you ladies planned on using after you delivered your babies....i pretty torn i dont know if i want to do the pills or the depo shot...
1801864 tn?1318097993 I know that birth control can make you feel pregnant. But do you guys think I should get a pregnancy test? Me and my boyfriend have been having sex almost everyday and his been cumming inside me. and I was taking my birth control on time for a while but my life is getting stressed and I've been taking my birth control when ever I remember I have to take it. My tummy has cramp like feelings and my nipples are tender BUT I know that birth control can make that happen. SO what should I do.
Avatar f tn Its so confusing because there have been so many women who have gotten pregnant while using a birth control contraceptive.
Avatar f tn No I was not planning on getting pregnant, but I do not do anything to stop it. My husband and I don't feel confortable with birth control and feel God controls all that anyway. I probably will wait till next Thurs. to take another test and see what it says then.
Avatar f tn Hello. I made a stupid mistake with my birth control. On the 24 of august I took two of my birth control pills then had protected sex with my boyfriend on the 25. At the time I thought this was a good idea and took two again on the 26 then had protected sex on the 27. I had some brake through bleeding due to to the over dose on birth control and I decided to finish my pack out correctly and never do that again.
Avatar f tn t get my period while on it. Some people gain weight from the shot, I actually lost weight on it so I think it all depends on the person. There's a lot of different options so you can always talk to your doctor and see what they say.
Avatar f tn i have been on the pill, just had my period july 2nd. It was a regular period, as always, but then i stopped taking the pill for 3 weeks. I am back on the pill and have been for 2 weeks. I have not yet started my period, and always have one every month. I have had all the signs of starting, cramps and all but no period, and have taken 2 pregnancy tests that were negative.
2032869 tn?1333989114 Thanks I was looking into IUD still not sure on it. I saw other ppls stories on Pregnant 18-35 and some are having problems trying to get pregnant from hormonal birth control. I've never took birth control so just wondered about it.
Avatar f tn Do I have more of a chance of getting pregnant while during the placebo pill week?...and this period that I just got...was kinda funky at first..there was spotting for a couple days and it was light..then it seemed kinda normal?..but still light and not heavy.
Avatar f tn I'm currently 37wks and I had mine for 5 yrs before getting pregnant. I had my period every month even though the doctor said I wouldn't. I didn't gain weight but my husband told me he felt it when we had sex. I'm getting it again because I think its the best birth control.
Avatar f tn Im actually on the same birth control but Ive only been on it for a week and a few days I noticed im getting head acks too and its been a little over week since Ive had my period as well and just recently started getting a weird discharge, Also I feel nausiated some times too specially when I try to go eat. Sorry I couldnt help you but Ive been looking forever to find out about whats going on with me lately, your post just sort of helped a little.
