Most women get their period during the placebo week. Are you taking the 21 or 28 day pack?
Avatar f tn I missed one pill and three weeks later found out I was pregnant
Avatar n tn Could you get pregnant on the birth control pill even when u miss a few my breast feel a little heavy and my nipples hurt I had sex on December 21st my next period is January 10th I did a little spotting then bleeding but I believe that's cause I missed pills so doctor told me to get back on track and I stop bleeding but my fave is breaking out I feel bloated n sleeping a lot and my family sad I'm a little moody and I can't stop eating... Could I be pregnant?
Avatar m tn I would also recommend a pregnancy test--I ALWAYS do. If you missed a pill it can be enough to cause a period that lasts forever. Often by the time you get to the placebos, you will have stopped and won't have your regular period. Usually it is best to continue with the pills daily and when you start your new pack things will usually sort themselves out. If this continues to happen frequently, you may need to change your pill for awhile. Good luck!
Avatar n tn I went out of town for a couple of days and forgot to pack my birth control pills (YAZ). I missed two pills in week three. I followed the directions and continued to take active pills through the following Sunday and then started a new pack. I did not get my period however, the pill directions say this is to be expected. Can anybody explain what causes the missed period?
Avatar f tn I was on depo before and hated it. The mini and the regular birth control pill were pretty good just a lot of nausea in the beginning but it eventually goes away.
1396128 tn?1280363671 and as ling as you havent missed any pills in the last 7 days you should be ok to have intercourse. sometimes you wont get a period in the 1st month of birth control. what were you using before the pill?
Avatar n tn especially if you have reason to think your pregnant. spotting can be your period messing up (if your on birth control) it could be that you are pregnant...
Avatar f tn has anyone had this issue with this pill? i did miss a day on the 22nd, but took it with my next day dose. Then i missed it again on the 24th and took that pill with my next day dose as well...was that wrong? I was on Lo estrin and got pregnant on it after 3 months. Im trying not to stress out about it because i just bumped up my activity level to working out 5-6 times a week! Anywho im thinking of going on the Implanon, does anyone know if its good?
Avatar m tn My girlfriend has been on birth control for about a month now. We had sex on 11-17-12 and She was expecting her period to be on 11-20-12! She says she feels the usual symptoms as if she would be starting her period but yet it hasn't started yet. Could this be the birth control altering her cycle? Or does this mean she's pregnant? I need some information on what to expect and I need answers pleeeeassseee!!!
Avatar f tn Missing a period when you're on birth control doesn't happen for the same reasons as when you're not. Often women on the pill miss periods for no reason. I missed a few here and there when I used to be on the pill but I knew there was that side effect so I didn't worry about it.
Avatar f tn I have been on birth control for about 4-5 years now. On the week of April 11th I completely forgot my pill on Tuesday April 12th & took Wednesday's pill about 11 hours late but took the rest of the pills on schedule as usual. On Sunday April 17th I had sex & on April 25th I started my period. I was supposed to start my period yesterday, May 13th but have not started yet & I'm freaking out. Am I pregnant? I have never missed a pill before from what I can remember. Thank you!
Avatar n tn i took the pill for a week and i stop and my period came again...and been with my period for already 5 days and is dark brown...
Avatar f tn I was on the birth control pill I wasn't doing so good skipping them or taking them too late so I just stop taking it all together my February period was two weeks long n I had sex march 11th but I didn't get a march period could I be pregnant?
Avatar f tn I decided to stop taking my birth control after my last period which was on December 29, 2011.. My birth control usually regulates my period to where I get it the 4th Thursday of every month. I also was not sexually active for over a year until I had sex with my boyfriend about 2 weeks ago. We had protected sex and then the 2nd time was unprotected, but he pulled out in time & did not nut in me.
Avatar f tn What is your favorite birth control ? Least favorite ? Ugly side effects ? Ill be 26 weeks in a few days and wanna start thinking about if i want to take BC and whst kind i want.
Avatar f tn If you miss a pill, you may become pregnant if you have sex in the 7 days after your missed pill. You MUST use another birth control method (such as condoms or spermicides) as a back-up for those 7 days. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't know what else to do (these instructions are tricky!), keep taking your pills and use a back up method until you can talk to your health care provider.
Avatar m tn So, the week before I had unprotected sex I was in a country where there was a different time zone and i took a week's worth of birth control at a different time. then i missed the day of's pill then had sex and he came twice the next day i took plan b. I took my pill and then had sex that night. I got a period but now everytime i miss a pill i get bleeding. should i be worried and take a pregnancy test?
Avatar f tn Is it normal not to have a period after stopping birth control? How long of not having a period till I should be worried? Should I test again? Thanks for any suggestions.
Avatar f tn I'm a 16 years old and have been taking birth control for 9 days now. Me and my partner has intercourse 2 nights ago and used the pull out method. Is there a chance that i could become pregnant if he came in me and only being on tge birth control for 9 days? Thanks for your help.
1166321 tn?1321279842 Am I understanding correctly that you stopped the pills in the middle of the pack for the three days that you thought ovulation would occur? If so, sorry, but I don't think it works that way :) If you were on the pill for three months, stopping for three days would NOT make you ovulate at all, it may just mess with your period coming...
