Uhh... Birth Control
Hi... I'm a 18 year old female.. and I have a question for hopefully someone who can give me a helpful answer. I got a year supply of birth control from this place called family planning.. and alot of it expired.. but.. I didnt realize it until recently.. And I know that i took a months worth of expired pills... but ive had my period since that.. But i was told that if you have unprotected sex right after your period.. the chances are really high... So pretty much my question was.. When you take expired birth control does it make your body think that your not going to take it anymore... and then you release eggs again so that the chances of getting pregnant are higher??
Help.. Please...

well it prob still works as long as its not too too expired and you chances of getting preggo like directly after your period is really low because it takes about 5 days for the egg to come. i believe your most fertile day is around day 19 depended on the length of your cycle

isnt birth control susposed to make make your body think it is pregnant so it wont be able to firtilize anymore eggs so you wont be able to get pregnant? unless i am really stupid then that is what it is supposed to do. so truely (i noe i am younger then you) i dont think it will give you a hirer risk of gettin pregnant.

With an expired medication, there's a possibility that it will be less effective. If the effectiveness is decreased, you do have a higher chance of becoming pregnant. I would suggest talking to your gynecologist or calling family planning and explaining the situation. They should be able to provide you with birth control that isn't expired. Until then, I would suggest abstaining from sexual activity or using a backup method such as a condom to protect yourself.
