As long as you take you medication at the same time everyday you will be ok but just remember birth control is only 99.9% accurate, which means there is still that slight chance of getting pregnant. I've been on the pill for almost a month now an ive had sexual intercourse and ive been fine.

If you are taking a 21 day birth control pill, do not stop for 7 days, but start a fresh pack.  If you are taking a 28 day pill, the last 7 days are inactive pills; take the first 21 days, discard the last 7 and start a fresh pack.  \n\nHowever, you can only do this with monphasic birth control pills (ie: pills that have the same dosage daily).

Well technically u cud start it anyday but the reason why they want u 2 start either da 1st day of ur period or the 1st sunday is because it takes at least 7 days 4 ur body 2 get used to the pill.  As u know u ovulate after ur period. It changes from woman 2 woman but it takes 7-14 days after da 1st day of ur period 4 u 2 ovulate. When u take it as the doctor prescribes, at ovulation, ur body wud fully accept the birth control and it will b at full effect and then it's safe for u 2 have sex and not b 2 stressed about getting pregnant.

I was pregnant for 3 months while taking the pill.  I did not know I was obviously.  I started feeling sick and my doctor just did a test to be safe and it turned out I was already 3 months pregnant.  I had my baby last december and he is healthy, happy, and adorable.  Just stop taking them and dont worry like I did.  I was sooo freaked that something would be wrong but I did all that worrying for nothing.  Good Luck.

PythonPrincess was correct, but it may not be a stronger pill that you need. There are different types of pills that work a bit differently, and many women find (along with the help of their physicians) that they will need to experiment to find what works best.  3 months is really too early to tell.  I would at least wait 6 months, and keep track of any other side effects that might occur.  If you miss a pill and need to double up on it, it is safe but can mess up your schedule.

Sometimes it will take 1-3 months for your body to adjust to changes in the pill.  I'd give it at least another month before freaking out too much. If it's still happening next month, call your doctor and ask for a change.

It is normal that you are late. Your period will change a lot as your body starts to adjust to your new pill. Don't worry unless you skip your period for too long, like a couple of months. And I would advise using condoms the first month.

same thing happened to me, as soon as you stop taking the birth control for 5 days have a normal period. wait until it stops before taking the pills again. see a doctor if it doesnt work

Being on birth control keeps you from ovulating, I was on it for a year and I never once had any discharge from ovulating. \nAlso as far as your breasts being tender that is completly normal. My best advise would be to relax if you didn't miss taking your pill then you probably aren't pregnant. Not to mention stressing could cause your period to be late so calm down and just relax, drink some chamomile tea and take a hot bath. :)

In this case, you'd be strarting as if you never used the pill before. Usually the package has it all spelled out. You can start on the period, or you can start at random time BUT you'll HAVE to use a back-up method for that cycle. That means, paying for condoms. Might as well pay the full price for pills and do it right and not worry about it.

This is actually quite normal. Some women won't get a period for several months after taking birth control. I wouldn't worry yet about amenorrehea. Your NORMAL! Stop thinking about it and your cycle will pick up again. Your body is tricked into thinking your pregnant when your on the pill and it takes a while for all the hormones to leave your body.

Don't freak out too much, it could be nothing!  I took birth-control pills for exactly the same reason and then just stopped taking them, my body flipped out and I felt really sick and my period was irregular for months.\n\nWait untill you finish your period this time and then start the pills, just as you did the first time.  You're okay.\n\nIf you're really worried, go to your doctor for more information.

Your body is adjusting to the pill.  It may take a few months for your body to adjust to the pill.  It's normal.  You may also experience spotting or abnormal periods during the next few months too.

It worked for me.  A few days before I got married I started taking the pill and delayed my cycle.  Once I got home after my honeymoon, I stopped taking the pill and my cycle came in a few days.  Just make sure you take the pills with the active ingredients, not the ones you're supposed to take during the week of your cycle.

Okay, here's the scoop. (Unless you are over 35, at which point go put your feet in the stirrups)\n\nAlmost anything can have an affect on the pill dosage. Antibiotics, too much alcohol, stress, dieting, etc... It sounds to me as if your body may have acclimated to the level of hormones and is on the verge of being confused as to if it's enough or not enough.. The Gyn will likely tell you to go through the cycle, and if you continue spotting give you 2-3 months of the next higher dose, ( after doing a prenancy test) to see if that will regulate the system.\n\nDon't panic. Give your gyn a call, see if he/she can call you back ( you just want to ask a question after all ) see what he/she says. Have your pharmacy phone number with you, so she can call in a different type of pill right away, if she decides to.

Was this just last month? And did you get periods before you started taking it? And If you were sexually active in that one month have you taken a pregnancy test? One month usually doesn't do the trick for protecting yourself from pregnancy...Good luck.

Missing the pill will make your cycle start.  Just to be safe, I think I would contact my physician since it has lasted for so long.  Hope you get to feeling better.
