so now I've been off birthcontrol for a month and I'm supposed to have my period yet its late like this is my third day and now I'm kinda paranoid because my boyfriend played some silly prank on me about being pregnant and we did have sexual intercourse 2 weeks ago but used a condom does any one have ideas like would my period just be naturally messed up now because of the birthcontrol?

oh yeah. If you miss, you double up, miss again, etc. your period can most definately be effected. A call to your dr. or even an online search for missed pill, took 2 might bring up some answer for you. You can go to the store and take a test to be sure. Mine always started the day after I took a test!! I'd get all nervous, then spend $12, and boom! there it was.\nGood luck

Dear Linda..\n\nI'm Lynda too and I take yasmin as well. What you can do is continue with another new strip once you finished the 21 days cycle. Meaning don't stop for the 7 day period. \n\nStart on a new pack once the you finished the last pack. Your period will not come as long as you're on the Pill. And there is no worries about getting pregnant as well.\n\nThat said, you mustn't make this a habit. \n\nHope this help and you have a great time with your boyfriend!! :=))

you're period will be wonky for a while. give it about 6 months to get back on it's proper schedule. Depo is horrible. Is really screws up a woman's system. When I came off it I had no period for another three months, constant bleeding for over two months, spotting for a few weeks after that and then finally a normal period cycle.\n\nHowever, if you are having unprotected sex, you could be pregnant.

I am on the pill and my last day is Sunday. I never start my period before Thursday. So I wouldn't be to worried. It has always been that way for me.

there is nothing wrong here because thats what has happened to me a couple of times, it lasted for about 2 weeks perhaps a little less like 12 days, and it is a long time and i got a little worried about it. But it did stop, and when it did i was soooo relieved. My mum had no idea what was going on either, and I really didn't want to go to the doctors. And you know what else happened to me that got me worried all over again, well i missed my period for 3 whole months!! can you believe it, and i still avoided seeing a doctor, but after those three months had gone by, I got my period again and it was all back to normal, I just think that my body was going through a phase, which has never happened since, so i'm relieved about that. Just wait a little while longer and all should be back to normal very soon, but if not then I suggest seeing a doctor. =)

It could just be that your body is adjusting to being off the pill. The pill regulates your period and if you've been on it for awhile, your body is not used to having to regulate it without the hormones from the pill. Or it could just be that you have a normally long interval between periods. For some women its normal to only have a period every other month or only once a year. \n\nIf there's a chance you could be pregnant, you should take a test and see a Doctor. Otherwise give your body about 6 months to establish its own rhythm. If you don't have some sort of regularity by that time, see your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. \n\nThere are also other things that can effect your cycle, such as other drugs, diet and stress.

You should be okay if you've been taking it consistantly. You took it as soon as you remembered. If you don't get your period this month, take a pregnancy test anyways. Birth control does NOT harm early pregnancy or cause abortions so, if you do find yourself pregnant and do decide to continue the pregnancy you do not have to worry about taking the pills without knowing you were pregnant. Also, if you find yourself continuing to forget your pill, perhaps because of your busy schedule. You should see your doctor about other forms of hormonal birth contorl such as the Ortho-evra patch, the Nuva Ring or the Depo-provera shot. Good luck!

ok hun its not a big deal. Birth Control forces your body to think it is pregnant and so when your period comes you shed the lining like you normally do but it will be thicker and darker. I asked my OB about it and he says its normal for girls on BC to have dark blood.

I would suggest that if you do not have a period with in the next week, purchase a home pregancy test.  I suspect that you are going to have your period, but your body is just going threw some changes, so it feels different.  Also, if you were recently treated for a yeast infection, and you took antibiotics for that, it could have an impact.  Hopefully your doctor explained to you that when taking anti biotics, you need to use a second form of birth control for a month, as your birth control pill (if you take them) very well not  work.  Good Luck!

It takes time to adjust to a new type of hormonal birth control.  Give it a few months before you start to panic.  Your period probably will not last 12 days, it just came early because you're changing hormone volumes.\n\nStick to the switch and become better about remembering to take your pill at the same time every day.  Your period should even out in a few months.

Birth control pills? I have never heard of anyone getting sick from birthcontrol! I would call your OBGYN ASAP! If it's not B/C.. then most other pills can make you sick to your tummy at first, but not B/C! Maybe it's not the right pill for you, there are a lot of differnt metohd of birth conrtol out there, and lots of other pills!

Any type of pills that alter your reproductive hormones can mess your periods up. Like me, I'm on Yasmin and my period started a week early and I'm on my 8th day... not common for me at all! Did you do your week of inactive pills? Give them 3 months and if you're still messed up, I'd talk to your gyn about switching to another kind.

Many times stress can throw your period out of whack and cause you to have late or skipped periods.  If you're a few days late, no sweat.  If you're weeks late, that might be a cause for concern.  Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of your cycle and is the best time to get pregnant, so a few days after your preiod shouldn't have gotten you pregnant.  But that's not a guarantee.  Get a pregnancy test and use it, don't stress, and it'll probably all work out just fine.  \n\nGood luck!!

I think your family will support you. They may not agree with your choices but they were young once. They know what it's like to be caught up in the moment. The only form of birth control that is 100% effective is abstenance. You're cycles  may not be regulated and sometimes when you stress so much about the possiblility of being pregnant, you can miss your period or it might come late. If the time comes that you have indeed missed your period and it has been at least 40 days since your last cycle, go to your doctor and find out if you are pregnant. At the same time you see your doctor, have him/her fit you for a diaphram so the next time you have sex, You have a back up to a condom. You can also try spermicides and things like that as an alternative to the pill. There is a shot out there called Depo Provera that is another form of birth control. You can try an IUD. There are so many options besides the pill. Obviously a condom might not be the answer for you. Good luck

Yes, you can get pregnant while on your period, but you shouldn't worry about that because you're on birth control. It is normal to have breakthrough bleeding, specially since you haven't been on it for long. It could take about 3 months for your body to get used to birth control, and with Seasonale you could still experiment breakthrough bleeding even after you've gotten used to it. \n\nIf it bothers you too much, try talking to your doctor about switching to another kind of pill. With regular birth control pills, there's less chance of getting breakthrough bleeding, but you would have to have your period each month. So decide which way is best for you. Mean while, what's happening to you is normal. \n\nIf your boyfriend doesn't want to have sex while you're bleeding because he fears you're going to get pregnant, assure him that you won't (the chances are the same as when you're not bleeding) because you're protected throughout your cycle, whether you're bleeding or not.

Stress and weightloss can both cause your period to be late. If you havent had sex since your last period, then chances are that you are not pregnant, but you can take a test just to be sure. Freaking out about being late can cause it to be even later. Just relax. If your pretty sure that there is no way that you are pregnant then it will come soon. If you still haven't had it in a couple weeks and you are not pregnant then go ahead and see a gyn. It could be any number of things really.\n\nGood Luck

I have been on Seasonalle for about a year and i usually get my period a few days into the white pills.  It's normal.  Plus the fact that your body is still adjusting to pills.  Another thing to consider is that stressing over being pregnant could keep your period from coming.  If it would put your mind at ease, take a home pregnancy test.  I bet you will have your period very soon.  :-)
