i've been on birthconrol pills since my daughter was born in feb 2007, sometimes i forget a day but i double up to make up for it. so my question is..... i messed up on the sequence and decided to start fress so i missed a week. I took my 1st pill (sunday) had sex monday and also took a pill . Am i on the right track? should I be worried? is the bloated feeling because I'm starting up again?

Okay, here is my situation. I started taking a pack of birth control, and I missed 9th and 10th day out of the pack, which caused me to start my period. I decided to go ahead and take the pills with no hormones in them. After my period I began with the active pills again like normal. Three days after my period stopped my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. I took a pill the day of and day after, but it's the first month I have been taking birth control and I don't know if I could possibly be pregnant.

Hello,

I am currently on Yasmin, for about 6 months. I usually end my pills on a Monday and my period arrives on Saturday. However, I was on a beach holiday and delayed my period by beginning a new pack on Tuesday instead of beginning my hormone free week. However, 2 of the days with the first week I took my pill 12-24 hours late...doubling up the next day. I believe I did this on a Thurs and Sat. On Sun and Monday of the following week my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. Now it is Saturday before the Monday when I finish my pills for the month. I took a pregnancy test today that allows results up to 6 days prior to your period. It was negative. However, I don't know if "beginning my period" is the Tues (when my hormone free pills start) or Sat (when my actual period usually comes) Any insight would be great. I am going to take the other test on Weds probably.

hi alison, nice page here... I had also a problem, I had escaped my 21th pill in the third row and I just realized that I had not taken the 21th pill when Im on the 24th pill, so what I did is take the 21th & 24th together and my problem now, is my menses did not come, first time ever happen since Im on b/c pills... Usually when Im on the last line of the pills, my menses would come but now Im worried, my expected menstrual bleeding did not come, is there a possibility that I will become pregnant, the last sex I had with my hubby is on August 22 and never had sex onwards, the escaped pills(21th) shld be taken in the 29th of August

I have some concerns... I missed my last two bc pills if the pack. Started my "period" on time but lasted 2-3 days, but ended with alot of clear snot like discharge. Two days later I had unprotected sex. I haven't my new pack yet, so now I have missed the first five active pills. Could the discharge at the end of my period meant I was ovulating therefore could be pregnant?

Hello, i have a question for you helpful people. My girlfriend missed two pills during week two, on thursday and friday. she doubled up on pill sat and sund. it says to use backup contraceptive for seven days AFTER restarting pills. well on the following saturday we had unprotected sex twice. this was seven days FROM when she first doubled up. according to an ovulation calandar it is likely she was very fertile on that saturday. is it likely we have anything to worry about?

Hello, I have a simple question. I just started to take Tri-Cyclen Lo, I had my period but I missed 3 days of pills. On the third day of the missed pills I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, he didn't pull out and when I asked about it, I had been told I didn't need to worry by a doctor at a free woman's clinic. I have recently gotten my new pack of pills and I am going to take on tonight and go back onto the normal schedule. Is it true though? Do I not need to worry, or should I just take my pill and wait it out?
