Umm birth control..is it stupid?


Question Posted Sunday June 19 2005, 4:55 pm

Okay I was suppose to have my period a long time ago. I got of my period and then started my other round of BC. Well I used ONE WHOLE CIRCLE THINGY UP and still wasnt on my period so i started to freak. But I called my health doctor and she said just take another round of pills. SO I started and then after about 15days to late my period came. It only lasted 3 days and the first day was VERY VERY heavy then it went lower the other 2 days til it was all gone. Im to afraid to ask my doctor if I could be pregnant. I'm going tomorrow to get more birth control. Yesterday is when I completely stopped and finished my period. Should I try the shot or something else? What should I tell my dad? My doctor lied and told my dad that I could have a infection and the birth control will help it be smaller so he believed that-but I don't like taking hte pill and the patch was kind of gay when i took it before the pills. I don't know what to take. Please help!!!

If you had your period you are not pregnant. BC pills will actually make your periods more regular. The days you are on and how heavy your period is will vary from month to month pill or no pill. I think the pill is best. Having worked in a doctors office I can tell you that no way would I have ever gotten the depo shot. It is easy but your periods can be really heavy and last for days. I mean weeks! No fun. But, people are all different and not everyone has that happen. It just seemed to me that it happened a lot. :)

I don't mean to disagree with charmed_cherry but I've known a few ladies to be on their period during pregnancy. Maybe they were screwed up, I never really asked.

Check with your local clinic, mine tests for pregnancy for free. If you are pregnant, you have no choice but to tell your dad, letting him figure it out on his own would only make it worse. If not, express your concerns to your doctor again, only he/she can answer all of your questions and hopefully put your worries to rest.

Edit: I got a second and third opinion, one said you can't have your period if your pregnant, the other said what I said. I would suggest you double check with a professional, also your irregular period could be a sign of an ulsar but if your doctor never mentioned that then you should be in the clear.

Some birth control pills will delay your period and make it shorter. And if you were pregnant you wouldn't even be having a period at all. So don't worry you aren't pregnant. And most periods <b>WITHOUT</b> bc lasts 3-7 days so you have nothing to worry about. You're fine.
