View 1 RepliesI have been taking birth control pills for about 6 years now, on and off. I usually take it every month, however for the last month I did not take the pills. My periods did not come after the month ended but it came after about two months for itself. I started taking the pills after my periods finished and into about a week of the pills, I began spotting, this never happened before. I have protected sex with my bf, so I highly doubt I am pregnant, but I still wanted to find out what could be the causes of my irregular spotting?
View 1 RepliesI used to be on the pill a while ago and I recently decided to go back on it. I accidently took the sugar pill on my second day of having my period not realising I was meant to start taking the active pills. Can I continue taking the sugar pill or do I start the active pill?
View 1 RepliesI consider myself to still be new to taking the pill as a form of birth control. Just when I think I have it figured out, something new would happen which would make me doubt it's effectiveness.
I am currently using Chateal, which contains 21 active pills and 7 placebo pills. After 6 months of taking it as directed, I assume my body should be used to the side effects. I would get nausea from taking it so I switched to taking it at night. I have been taking it that way for 3 months now.
But I have noticed since first started taking it, I would get severe cramps and backaches during the second week of the pack for a few days. I assumed I was ovulating while on the pill because I noticed my cervical mucus changes throughout the month. My understanding though is the pill is to prevent ovulation thus preventing pregnancy.
Can you ovulate while on the pill? Is my birth control pill type too low of a dose for me? Could it be something else?
I have been on the pill for about 6 years now for the past couple months I have been taking it at 9 am every morning. However there was a day where I took it in the evening. I didn't skip the day. I then had unprotected sex. Is there anyway that I could be pregnant?
View 1 RepliesI'm 17 years old and curious. I tried speaking to my doctor today but he was busy so I need a reply. I'm on a birth control pill. I took my first one last night at 6:15pm, I then felt normal. I woke up at 5:45am and felt sick in my stomach. I vomited at 7am. I also had severe pain in my stomach , back and boobs to the point where I couldn't walk. Is this because of the pill? Or is it just a virus. I took my second one again at 6:15pm today just to see if the same thing happens tomorrow morning. If it does, i'll be seeing my doctor. But for now, does anyone have any answers?

View 1 RepliesI was supposed to start my period the 26th. On the 23rd I had a spot of blood when I went to the bathroom and didn't spot anymore after that. Yesterday (the 2nd) I started what I thought was my period but it was brown/black lumpy blood, enough to go thru a few tampons and it ended today (the 3rd). My periods are always regular and I've never had brown/black blood before. My husband and I have been trying for a year. Has anybody else had symptoms like this and what was the outcome?
View 2 Repliesso i had unprotected sex and my boyfriend came in me, however i had been on birth control for three months and never missed a pill. However i took the morning after pill the next morning to be safe. Then during my week of taking sugar pills, which was about a week after the unprotected sex when my period was supposed to come it never did. I have taken multiple tests and they all come back negative for pregnancy. is it normal to miss a period or should i get a blood test done at my doctor to check?
View 2 RepliesI have endometriosis and have been on continuous birth control for the past 2 years. In this time I haven't had any bleeding.
However, about a month ago I started spotting, then it turned to bleeding which has required the use of feminine hygiene products every day.
I want to take a break from my birth control and give my body a chance to refresh.. I just want to know - will I remain protected from pregnancy if I take a week off (as I have not at all)?
I have been on Implanon for 1 year and have had periods EVERY MONTH until november where i missed my period.. Its not normal for me to miss even when im on Birthcontrol... A few days ago i started to get a light pink discharge and brown spotting.. Now i have a SUPER LIGHT what seems to be a period btu i only find blood WHEN I WIPE.. I am wondering did i have implantation bleeding? Why could my bleeding be only when i wipe? Also the blood is mixed with a clear snotty substance so im kind of confused.. since i have been on nexplanon birth control for a year and had periods every month than november i had nothing... Had a clear snotty discharge with a light brown line in it and once it was a light pink snotty discharge and now i am bleeding ONLY when i wipe... What is wrong with me?I got stitches on october 21st and was put on antibiotics for 10 days and had sex during them 10 days i missed november and had a pinkish discharge on the 26th of november but still no period now what's wrong?
View 1 RepliesI had my implanon removed the beginning of October and immediately started taking the pill. I have now been non stop bleeding for 16 days. Should this be happening even while taking the pill? I would think the bleeding would be stopping or at least slowing down at this point, but it's not!
View 1 RepliesI'm very scared and freaked out right now. I've been on Birth Control (Tri-Previfem) for two years now and have never spotted in between periods. I went to visit my boyfriend last week and we had unprotected sex, but he didn't finish inside me. During the four days I was visiting him I took my pill inconsistently. I normally take it at 8:00 am every morning, but I was taking it at around 9 or 10 am while visiting him.
It's been a week since the unprotected sex and I've been taking my pill constantly at 8 am, but I just noticed very dark brown, almost black discharge when I go to the bathroom and wipe.
I'm freaking out because this has never happened and I don't know what to do so I thought that someone might have some advice or answers.
I took Cerazette for 9 days, felt so ill i came straight off it. Anxiety attacks, racing heart, was off work for 8 weeks it was a nightmare. its now 3 months on, my periods are getting somewhat back to normal, but i've been left with a fast heart rate. I've been rushed to A&E a few times its been so fast i thought i was having a heart attack. i'm now on beta blockers to keep it under control until it's investigated. its ok sat down, but if i try and walk or do anything it goes through the roof.
I've heard of other women that have had this but i'm desperate to find out whether it will eventually go back to normal on it's own or has it left me with long term issues.
My girlfriend starting taking the pill one month ago. We had unprotected sex (condom broke) about 3 days before she went on the inactive pills. Now she is having her first period while on it but she is only having a small amount of brown blood (it is a constant flow). Is this normal because of the changes in hormones and it will become normal in a few days or is this implantation bleeding (a sign of pregnancy)? She is now on her second inactive pill.
View 1 Repliesi've been on microgestin fe for four months now and i am on my third week of the pack. after sex, I noticed some light pink discharge. the next day, dark brown blood, and today i am noticing a tiny bit of bright red that contains some mucous. is this due to the hour difference that i am taking my pills since it is daylight savings time? or just a common side effect?
View 1 RepliesMy last period was between 9-13th May. On 19th May, the condom broke. Within 12-15 hours of the sex I took the morning after pill. Then on maybe the 27th May I had some light bleeding for around 3/4 days.
I expected my period to be here around the same time as last month, however nothing as of yet. My periods are often irregular, but I'm just a bit paranoid and concerned now. I always tend to get tender breasts before my period comes which I am experiencing now.
I am stressing a lot about it, which I know can delay periods as it is, but also I was stressing about finishing university. Now also this weekend I have had a throat infection.
I am really nervous to take a test as I do not know what to do if it is positive. Has this happened anyone else? Should I expect it to come soon?
I had sex we used a condom but i can't remember everything so to be safe the next day I took levonelle the morning after pill.Just to state I was at the end of my period when we had sex. My period is now 17 days late. I have taken a pregnancy test and it was negative. Why is my period so late? I have also has a yeast infection about 3 times since the sexual encounter!
View 1 RepliesI have been on the combined pill (Gederal) for a couple of years now but my doctor wants to change me to the Mini Pill (Cerelle). My Combined pill is perfect so i don't want to change. I mentioned that i had one migraine with visual disturbance and she explained to me that even one of these migraines is a reason to come off the combined pill. The combined Pill regulated my periods but she explained that this mini pill is now going to make me irregular.
