Avatar n tn I would say you do have a higher chance of getting pregnant during the placebo week than you normally would since this is your first month on the pill. The placebo week is meant to keep you on track with your pills. During the placebo week is when you are supposed to be menstruating. If you didnt m enstruate during that time you could possibly have ovulated. Even while you are on the pill I would recommend using a condom also...pills are not 100% effective.
Avatar f tn OK...a little bit of background. 2 mos ago, I had a missed pill. Followed the in-pack instructions and took the missed pill the following morning and my pill that evening as usual. This has thrown my cycles off like crazy. My last "period" during placebo week was the pill pack prior to the missed pill. I am now having the typical placebo week bleeding between the 2nd and 3rd weeks of the active pills, with not even as much as spotting during the placebo week.
Avatar f tn is it safe to have unprotected sex the week before the start of the placebo week? i know sperm lasted a week inside a vagina so if it lasts that week while your on the plaacebo and there are no hormones will the sperm meet an egg or no?
Avatar f tn I usually start the exact same day, on a Wednesday, during the placebo week but I have had my period start a day before or a day late. When I was a teenager, my period was always on a Sunday. I've been on birth control for 18 years and it gradually changed days. I suggest take the pill asap, go get the morning after pill if you had sex within the last few days. Buy an early detection pregnancy test.
Avatar f tn ve still been takin my birth control and its the placebo week. so if its gone next week I think its fine... should i still go anyway if it does stop next week?
Avatar f tn I just continued taking the pills as directed. I did not get my period during the placebo week. It has now been 9 days since I've taken a pill. I don't want to start another pack until I get my period. Is this normal?
Avatar n tn I was also on it 3 yrs ago and i would get my period 2-3 days into the placebo week EVERY time. I skipped the first placebo week of pills for a trip, and i took my last active pill on august 23rd. I have no period yet, and i have discharge that resembles that to ovulation- stringy and clear. I had unprotected sex on aug 9th and aug 20th and both of those times ironically i missed a pill by 12 hours (caught up in the night!) why am i not getting my period? should i be taking a pregnancy test?
Avatar f tn I missed 2 pills in a row during the second week, and of course had unprotected sex with my husband the day I realized I missed after doing so. I ended up taking 3 pills at once and then carried on the pills as normal. Had no break through bleeding. Now I’m into the placebo week and would normally expect my period in 2 days from now. I have been very crampy, could I still get it or is it possible I’m pregnant? I’m really nervous...
Avatar m tn We use condoms regardless, but she is very paranoid either way. I told her, based on my knowledge, that even during placebo week we would be okay to have sex. We don't have sex on her period anyway, but the day after it ends and she takes a non-placebo pill then we are still protected. Of course this is all considering she is taking the pill correctly and at the same time each day (which she is).
Avatar f tn I'm on birth control, one week last month i kept taking it kind of late (I am on Lo Loestrin so I don't think this matters), and was and am having unprotected sex. About a week or two earlier than my placebo pills, I got what I think was my period - heavy, had clots in it, and lasted roughly 3 or 4 days. I had no period during my placebo pills and brown discharge shortly thereafter. Now two weeks into my new pack pills, I got nervous and decided to take a pregnancy test.
Avatar f tn Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex Saturday and Sunday. I've been on birth control for about 3 years and this month I only took two weeks of the pill and started right to my placebo pills this week after we had sex. I'm wondering if because I skipped to my placebo pills a week early will that cause me too ovulate and get pregnant? I'm kind of freaking out.
Avatar f tn If i drink the teas during my placebo week (while not having sex), will it be okay? If the herbs are possibly hormone changing, would it affect my new pill pack the following week (even if I stop drinking the tea when I start my new pill pack)?
Avatar f tn I have been taking Microgestin 1/20 for 1 month now. I am almost finished with my second pack, I'm on the placebo week, its my fifth day no period still. I'be been taking my bcp on time everyday. Should I be worried or should I stay calm until I start taking my next pack?
Avatar m tn ve been on birth control pills for almost 4 months now, im on my 4th month and i missed the last 3 placebo pills of my 3rd month. 7 days ago i had sex with my boyfriend and then 5 days after that i had this brown spots on my underwear and im having back cramps and a really really emotional week. im afraid that i might be pregnant. am i?
Avatar f tn The last four pills in my pack were placebo, and I was told to take the first placebo pill and start my new pack the following day. I did not receive my period, as planned. I continued to have unprotected sex with my boyfriend, as my doctor had told me that skipping my period would not affect the accuracy of my birth control. For the past few days I have been experiencing an upset stomach, having to make frequent trips to the bathroom.
Avatar n tn I usually get my period during the placebo week but I didn't and during my other pills I was bleeding lite and me and my boyfriend always have unprotected sex could I be pregnant?
Avatar f tn so this month i tried it i spotted to whole month brown stuff with alittle bit if red every now and then. idk if i should test or not because. i ended my placebo week today, starting the white pill. okay so 1 day before my placebo pill i had sex with my bf, we use the pull out method so im very trusting that he pulls out every time and pees after, and we repeat until were finished. anyway as we were having sex a gush of blood came out like i was starting my period.
Avatar m tn OK. So this is the reason for my question... I've been on birth control since December 2015, never ever missed a dose, only thing I've ever done was take it an hour or two late, nothing else. I've been really good with the placebo pills too, it's usually on schedule the week of placebo I would get my period like at the second placebo pill or at the latest, the third. I've never missed a period or was ever late or early, it was right on schedule like it's supposed to.
Avatar f tn at all, but should have some light spotting during placebo days.
Avatar f tn the condom broke (I was a couple of days before my placebo pills). Ive been taking my bc like Im supposed to but i was on metronidazole during this same week. I know antibiotics weaken bc, & I just wanted 2 know what r my chances of getting pregnant from this? Im now on my placebo pills & I still havent started my period......
Avatar f tn The hormones he wants to check are prolactin, cortisol and testosterone and my GP has also ordered estradiol as she suspects that checking cortison will not be possible (it has to be done in a hospital and this is unavailable atm due to COVID-19). I will have a blood test next Tuesday, coincidentally during my placebo week (and probably my first day of period).
Avatar m tn I am on my second month of birth control pills...on the the third week. During the placebo week last month I got my withdrawal bleed when at the correct time and it was not extremely light...basically seemed like a period. However, I can't shake this feeling that I am pregnant. Its crazy because I got my period last month. Also, I have taken multiple pregnancy tests...allof them are negative. In fact, I just took one on Friday...
Avatar f tn I've been having jitters back pain bloating and bad sharp pains in my lower back it hurts to sleep on my tummy on the lower abdomen been getting very moody and also I've been getting bad got flashed
Avatar f tn You kept taking the pills so you're still protected. If you stopped taking them and didn't start again after the end of the placebo week then you would not be protected because the protection only lasts as long as you're either taking active pills or only having the number of placebo days that are in the pack.
Avatar f tn I honestly cannot remember if we had unprotected sex the days leading up, I want to say no? Anyways, I was ready to wait a week before unprotected sex since I missed 2 pills. Well, I JUST found out that I should’ve started a new pack once I got to placebo instead of going through that week. Oops. I got my period placebo week and everything has been fine and I am 2 days in on my new pack. We just had unprotected sex last night.
