very long period
Posted Wednesday April 13 2011, 6:29 pm
I started birth control about 3/4 weeks ago. I'm on the "fake pills" right now. The placebo pills. Well last week I had sex (I was on the 3rd week of pills) and the next day I started bleeding very lightly. I thought I broke my hymen because that was my first time and we went all the way and it hurt like hell. But then I thought it could be spotting because I heard thats a side effect for birth control. So I used pads and each day hoping it would stop. But then it got heavier and heavier. So I assumed it was my period. Now its been a week and 2 days and i'm still bleeding. I'm starting to freak out a little.. I heard that you bleed more because of spotting.. but is this normal? I'm on placebo pills right now. I started bleeding la...

Period anyway?

Hello! Recently I was prescribed birth control pills for my heavy period and he warned me that I may be spotting in between the pills. I've been taking them for about two weeks now and about four days after I started taking them, my period started and it hasn't stopped either. It's really weird and it's kind of heavy now, at first it was light.
Also, I don't know if this helps or not, but just making sure, I am not sexually active and I've also been having some pains in my abdomen area, recently having an ultra-sound done to see what it was, but the note they sent only said 'we did an ultra-sound', nothing else, so I'm confused.

Im A First Timer! I Just Have Some Questions.
Posted Thursday April 7 2011, 3:27 am
Hey(: So I Dont Really Want A Lecture On This Question. But, Im sixteen, and My boyfriend and I have been talking about having sex. We both decided that we want to do it. And Im Aware of all the precautions I need to take already. But i have several questions. Like, will it hurt really bad if i can only fit two fingers while fingering? Does the amount of bleeding just make the situation gross? If Neither of us orgasm, how do we know when were done? And Also, How Long do i need to be on birth control before its save to have sex? (we are also using a condom, dont worry)
Thanks(:

Mix-up with taking my birth control pills.
Posted Tuesday March 22 2011, 1:52 am
So, lately my life has been so chaotic and busy I somehow ended up being quite stupid with my birth control pills.
Basically, I finished my pack on Wednesday, and was then supposed to have the week of placebo pills, but I wanted to skip my period due to various reasons, and my doctor said it would be fine. However, I forgot to take the pill on Thursday, so my period started sometime on Friday. However, because I was so tired and my head was so full off things, I took the first pill of the next pack like I originally intended to on Friday evening.
Now, I'm currently on my period and taking the pill like I would have normally, since I didn't think I should just stop it.
Will my period finish within the next few da...

On loestrin but my period still messed up
Posted Monday March 21 2011, 3:25 pm
Ive been on loestrin since august or september and it has really worked for me as far as getting my period. I was getting it at the same time every month on time. After my period ended I hooked up with someone, but didn't have sex. This was on feb 1st. Then in march fr my next period I got it when I was supposed to. But then 2 weeks later I got my period again. This time it was a different flow than usual though. I know this is a stupid question since I didn't actually have sex but I don't understand why this would be happening when the pill had been working so well when it came to my period. Any possible explanations?

i have regular periods but will this make it worse?

I have a very regular period routine. its so weird because a lot of my friends complain about how theirs are so irregular but mine are so regular. i can predict which day they come and how long they will last and it will actually happen.
my question is.. i just got birth control pills for the first time. i haven't taken the first pill yet. i heard that birth control pills can make your period irregular. my question is, do you think taking birth control pills is a good idea for me? i'm scared it will mess up my cycle and make it irregular. do you think i should not take the pill because my system is regular? or should i still take them? help!

Is it normal not to get your period while on the pill?
Posted Sunday March 20 2011, 11:50 am
I haven't had my period in 2-3 months now. I would've taken a pregnancy test sooner, but I've never even had sex. In fact, the closest I've come to having sex is my boyfriend cumming on my ass in the shower. So there's really no way I should be pregnant.
I'm on Loestrin24Fe; it's NOT the pill that only gives you a period 4x a year. I've been on it since last June. For the first six months, my period slowly did become lighter and shorter, but it plateaued at about 2 days long. Now a couple months back, I got a *little* bit of spotting for a day, and ever since then, I have not had my period. Is this normal or should I see a doctor?

tried to skip period, didn't work
Posted Friday January 28 2011, 11:25 pm
I am currently on the end of my third month of taking sonryx birth control pills. on my second month i tried to skip my period by skipping the inactive pills of the 2nd month and going straight into the 3rd month but i still got my period. this month i decided to take the inactive pills but i still have yet to get my period/break through bleeding. is it because my period is finally starting to regulate? i haven't had sex for about 2 months and I take my pills everyday on time. I'm just a little confused on what's going on. I'm on my third day of taking my inactive pills if that helps. thank in advance :)

Are birth control pills still effective during menstruation?
Posted Wednesday January 12 2011, 1:48 pm
I just need this clarified for myself, I have not actually been in this situation.
I was thinking the other day, if you are taking the pill consistently, don't miss any and take them around the same time each day, when you are on your period and have unprotected sex, are the pills still effective? I know it isn't 100% safe anyway, but would they still prevent pregnancy, even if you're on your period?
Any information would be very much appreciated.
